Gabolshausen wayside shrine
The Gaboldshausener wayside shrine is one of the most important wayside shrines by the sculptor Karl Albert . Location of the faithful Rococo - replica in sandstone is the public space in Gabolshausen while the original in itself Astheim place.
History and description
In 1767 Albert created his most famous sandstone wayside shrine , an early work by the artist, but also one of his most sophisticated. The client and the occasion, as well as the donor of the picture, which has no such information on its base, could not be identified despite extensive research. Most likely the thesis is that the commission came from the community for the sculptor Peter Polder and then was carried out by his student Albert.
The inscription on the pedestal reads:
"This Gnadbild
has carl albert
and petter pol
of up report
in 1767"
The Gaboldshausen wayside shrine is now considered one of the most beautiful Rococo wayside shrines in Lower Franconia , the original of which after a restoration by the sculptor Pedro Schiller, who lives in Königsberg in Bavaria , was moved to the diocesan museum in Astheim, in the museum there, towards the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century Charterhouse Astheim was spent. There, now protected from the weather, the work is representative of the wayside shrine and the history of Franconia . A true-to-original copy of the work, made by the sculptor Peter Singer , who lived in Würzburg at the time , was blessed after five years as part of an "open-air church service" at the original location in the birthplace of Karl Albert.
