The high grave of Count Philipp von der Mark and his wife Katharina von Manderscheid-Schleiden in the former monastery church and today's Catholic parish church of St. Leodegar in Niederehe , a district of the municipality of Üxheim in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate , was created around 1625.
This grave of Count Philipp von der Mark, who died in 1613, and his wife, who died in 1593, is made of black Belgian marble . It used to stand in front of the high altar .
According to the inscription on the foot console common to both figures, it was re-erected in 1907 after adding the remaining parts. According to the material, the figures have something hard about them, which emerges from the woman's large, almost immobile coat. Ancestral coats of arms of Katharina von Manderscheid-Schleiden are preserved on the right long side of the Tumba . The plate with Count Philipp's ancestors no longer exists. The work is one of the similar works under Belgian-Dutch influence such as B. in Mayschoss the tomb of Katharina von der Mark .
Ernst Wackenroder wrote in 1928:
“The very well-preserved figure plate itself [...], formerly set up on the wall, lies in a special profile frame and is 2.25 m wide and 2.42 m long, the life-size bodies are three-quarters of the figure, the beautiful heads with pillows only slightly raised. The Garf in an elegant pose, a cloak trimmed with ermine over the armor; a tucked leg leaves space for the helmet at his feet. The right hand praying in front of the chest, the left hand resting on the sword. "
