Crucifixion shrine (Grafenrheinfeld, 1619)
The crucifixion shrine from 1619 is a torture in Grafenrheinfeld in Lower Franconia . It was built as a so-called monolith shrine in the course of the Counter Reformation .
history
The so-called monolithic wayside shrines shaped the region around Schweinfurt during the Counter Reformation . The Würzburg prince-bishops promoted the erection of these religious monuments throughout the diocese. The reason for this was, among other things, the spread of Lutheran teaching and the turning away from the old faith by the Free Imperial City of Schweinfurt. The wayside shrine is classified as an architectural monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments .
The Grafenrheinfeld wayside shrine was created during the reign of Prince-Bishop Johann Gottfried I von Aschhausen in 1619. It was donated by "Hanns Stein" and his wife. Initially, the torture was on the southeastern outskirts. It was later set up at a field lane crossing next to a small pond near the village. Today the wayside shrine is in the clay pit hall near the Finkenweg in the east of the village.
description
The monolithic wayside shrines all have a similar appearance. The rectangular, massive columns merge into a block-like headboard. All of them were made from a single stone. The base has a square base, which is often heavily bevelled in the upper area. Most of the sticks are decorated with coats of arms . In a large majority the depictions of crucifixion scenes predominate in the essay.
The Grafenrheinfeld wayside shrine was made with a representation of the crucifixion of Christ . Christ on the cross, however, is framed by two unknown adorants . A coat of arms with the Franconian rake and the year 1619 was attached below. An inscription was carved on the back. It reads: "In honor of God / read Hanns Stein / burger zu Gräffen / Reinfeld and Mar / garitha his wife / housewife". On the left side you can see a relief of St. Peter, on the right St. Andrew is depicted.
