description

The wall epitaph is attached to the left side of the west wall. An obelisk rests on egg-shaped feet on a two-story substructure, which is flanked by a stone replica of 2 large oil lamps with blazing flames. The obelisk bears a commemorative inscription (inscription 1), above it two oval heraldic shields with drawings that have become unrecognizable, hung on a cloth garland. At the top the obelisk is crowned by a pine cone and a leaf garland.

The stair-like substructure consists of 2 steps. The upper step has two trapezoidal inscription stones with inscriptions for Johann Friedrich Hirschmann and his daughter (inscription 2 and 3). A broad stone cuboid emerges from the lower step. The coat of arms of the Hirschmann family with a jumping stag and a winged crest is hung on a leaf garland.
