Numerous invoices report this, among others the master bricklayer Lorenz Schöllhorn received 317 florins in 1738 , Johann Kaspar Radmiller from Thanhausen for the stucco work 69 florins, the painting work was done by Melchior Prigl from Pfaffenhausen for 68 florins. For the production of the altar by the carpenter Michael Ruef from Kirchheim 100 florins were due. Overall, the construction costs amounted to 1,294 florins. The stalls originally made by Gottfried Dopfer from 1715 were renewed in 1739. In 1741, another 131 fl. Was paid to Michael Ruef for the altar. The setting of the altar was done by Melchior Prigl for 147 fl. The picture of the 14 helpers was also painted by him.

It is made of marbled wood and decorated with gold. A round-arched shell niche rises above the sarcophagus-shaped stipes .
