The work of the master from Oppolding is an example of the artistically independent achievement of the plasterer in the Rococo. In this epoch, the decorative small ornaments lost their serving function and also created independent works of art outside of the overall picture. These take on a mediator role between architecture and painting and create richly decorated works of art.

With the neighboring rococo churches in Eschlbach and Hörgersdorf, the work of Pader has left special works of art in the Erdinger hinterland, which, as Erdinger special rococo, represent a particular high point of rococo and push the formal possibilities to the extreme.
