Saint Sebaldus Church: Examples of the niche memorial sculptures

It takes its name from Sebaldus, an 8th century hermit and missionary and patron saint of Nuremberg. It has been a Lutheran parish church since the Reformation. The identity of the architect of the 14th century work is unknown, but his work shows that he was associated with the first generation of architects from the Parler school. Patricians and merchants vied for burial space for their families, and sandstone reliefs and figures were initially produced as an integral part of the building by sculptors including Adam Kraft and Veit Stoss.
