Furnishing

  • Three major shrines of sandstone with the representations: Christ on the Mount of Olives , suffering angel and painful Lady
  • Putti with Arma Christi around 1715, they were probably created by Johann Rendeles around 1715
  • Two stone tondi from the first half of the 17th century are attributed to Gerhard Gröninger's circle
  • Vespers made of stone, inscribed 1676
  • Three wooden figures from the end of the 15th century
  • A wooden crucifixion group from the mid-18th century
  • Noteworthy is the processional - canopy of St. George. It is evidently assigned to the New Objectivity , influenced by the Werkbund / Bauhaus . This rather rare work of textile art in red, white and blue from the 1920s is dominated by geometric lines. The almost classic Eucharistic symbols wheat ear and grape are stylized, the lines reduced. The individual berries of the grape are abstracted into squares. The ears of wheat and other details of the canopy have gold thread applications. The central motifs of the hanging parts are also often used eucharistic metaphors . In front and behind there are the Christ symbol IHS and a chalice with a host , on the side a ship symbolizing the church with the Christ monogram PX as a mast and a circular white sail (host shape!) And on the opposite side one of the twelve baskets with bread and one (two?) Fish (e?) of the miraculous multiplication / feeding of the five thousand. The upper edge of the side panels is rounded off by a citation from Tantum ergo (up to "ritui").
