Assumption of the Virgin Mary Altar/Walpen Organ
The Assumption of the Virgin Mary Altar contains a rectangular carving which was saved from the fire of 1633. This representation of Mary‘s death hearkens back to an engraving by Martin Schongauer. This Gothic plate was also cleverly embedded in the altar, itself dating from 1640. The Apostles are impressively grouped around Mary‘s deathbed. This altar is considered the most beautiful in the church. To the other side, the pipes of the Walpen Organ (Thomas Sylvester Walpen), built in 1842-1844, are visible.
