Grave slab

The listed grave slab of Dietrich von Rinteln shows the deceased in an incised drawing painted with reddish paint in a long, cloak-like coat. In front of his coat he wears his coat of arms with the three roses on a pole.

The inscription in capital letters reads:

"+ ANNO D [OMI] NI M CCC XXI OBIIT IN CATHEDRA S [AN] C [T] I PETRI AP [OSTO] LI THIDERICVS DE RINTELEN ORATE PRO EO +"

In the year of the Lord in 1321 Petri Dietrich von Rinteln died at Kathedra . Pray for him.

The stone slab was originally located inside the church of the Minorite monastery in Leinstraße . When the church was converted into a castle church , the slab was walled in near the new church entrance.

After the destruction caused by the air raids on Hanover in World War II and the conversion of the Leineschloss into the Lower Saxony state parliament , the grave slab was moved to its current location in the Kreuzkirche during the years of reconstruction .
