Johann Friedrich Morhart

Epitaph for Johann Friedrich Morhart in the parish church of St. Magnus in Huglfing

Johann Friedrich Morhart von Offenwang in Romegg († 1668 ) was a landlord in Rameck , today a district of the Upper Bavarian community Huglfing in the Weilheim-Schongau district , and in Offenwang , today a district of the Teisendorf community in the Berchtesgadener Land district .

In 1662 Morhart founded the Sebastian brotherhood in Huglfing.

There is an epitaph for him in the Catholic parish church of St. Magnus in Huglfing . The deceased is shown kneeling with a skull in one hand and a rosary in the other. Next to it is his upside down coat of arms. That means that his ancestry died out with him. Johann Friedrich Morhart bequeathed the former Romegger burial chapel to the Sebastian Brotherhood.

There is a portrait of him above the entrance to the same church.
