Furnishing
_-_Hochaltar_(Mitte).jpg)
The Renaissance high altar is marked “FCK” for Abbot Caspar Kindelmann and the year “1572”. It was supposedly donated by him in 1569 based on an inscription that was added later and no longer exists today. Additions were made in 1906 by Karl Port. The carving probably comes from the Memmingen sculptor Thomas Heidelberger . The winged altar is colored and has a gilded tendril decoration. In the clover-arched shrine there is a relief of Our Lady with the Three Kings, above God the Father . Saints Gallus and Othmar can be seen below. On the inside of the wings, reliefs show the Annunciation and the Adoration of the Shepherds on the left, the Purification of the Virgin Mary and the presentation of Jesus in the temple on the right . Remains of painting on the far right have three New Testament depictions as their content. In addition to the arch of the shrine, two round-arched painting fields depict the Birth of Mary and the Passage of the Virgin Mary . The three-part altar excerpt is structured using templates. In a painting field in the raised central part a picture of the death of the Virgin can be seen, to the left of it the meeting at the Golden Gate and to the right the Visitation of Mary. In the predella there are three reliefs in arched niches. The left shows Herod ordering the death of a child, the murder of innocent children is shown in the middle. On the right is the flight to Egypt .
The pulpit is a marbled wooden structure from the beginning of the 18th century. The polygonal basket is structured by free columns. The sound cover has a volute attachment. The Way of the Cross, comprising 14 pictures, with sawed-out wooden panels in the form of rocaille cartouches was created around 1770 to 1780. The plague saints Rochus and Sebastian are set wooden figures and come from the third quarter of the 17th century, the two processional poles with mounted wooden figures from the first half of the 18th century.
