Vom 15. August bis Ende August ist das "Lichtwunder" am Marienaltar zu bewundern: Von 17 Uhr beginnend trifft das Licht der Rosette im Westgiebel auf den Marienaltar und wandert bis 18 Uhr von links unten langsam nach rechts oben bis Maria voll von der Sonne erfasst wird.Der Marienaltar ist von Riemenschneider ungemein plastisch geschnitzt. Er wirkt durch fehlende Farben bzw. Lackierung sehr natürlich und beeindruckt durch ausdrucksstarke Figuren. Ein wirkliches Meisterwerk mittelalterlicher Schnitzkunst!
Went to the church to see a gorgeously carved Tilmann Riemenschneider altarpiece and found 3 more beautiful altarpieces on display, as well. Then, a couple miles down the road was the wonderful walled city of Creglingen.
Mi hermana Ruth descubrió que en Creglingen existía otra obra de Riemenschneider y allá fuimos desde Rothenburg.-Caminamos hasta llegar a una pequeña iglesia y no esperabamos ver y asombrarnos de la enorme belleza del altar principal que es una maravilla.-Es de madera sin policromar y se encuentra en excelente estado de conservación pues fué ocultado por un muro durante 300 años.-Las figuras son bellamente esculpidas y los rostros son de un realismo asombroso.-Indudablemente es la obra cumbre de este artista que lo labró en 1505.-Lo visitamos en septiembre del año 2002 durante un viaje que hicimos por la Ruta Romántica.-Fernando Cruz Paredes, México.D.F
if you like small, intimate Baroque spaces and the freedom to take photos, this is for you! There are some great examples of the work of the master woodcarver, Riemenschneider, on display.
Per accedere alla visita dell'altare di Maria abbiamo pagato € 4,50 per l'intera famiglia composta da 2 adulti e due bambini. Ci è stata fornito un pieghevole in italiano con la descrizione dei vari pezzi che lo compongono.
If you're reading this, then you know about the Altarpiece of the Virgin Mary carved by Tilman Reimenschneider. It's absolutely stunning. However, for the price, and the no picture policy...a bit disappointed. And the outside of the church is very ho-hum as well.
It is a small rustic church.The Mary's altar stands in the middle of the aisle of the Church of God of Creglingen and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is one of the most famous works by Tilman Riemenschneider.Shot of the interior of the church is not allowed.Admission fee was € 2.
Una iglesia barroca de fines del 1300, visitada por muchos peregrinos en épocas pasadas. Se aprecia un importantísimo y bello altar todo de madera tallada por un famoso ebanista. Es para estar sólo un rato.
Thanks again to those who post on TripAdvisor because that is how I found out about this place. I confirm all the other positive reviews. The man taking the small admission fee was very helpful. They have very informative pamphlets in several languages for free that explain the famous alter as well as others and the church itself. Tip: best visited on a sunny mid-late morning when natural light is beaming through the stain glass windows aiding in better photos taken without the forbidden flash.
A small rural church with the requisite old cemetery and small courtyard and the most beautiful carven altarpiece I have ever seen. The 500 year old altarpiece is almost 30 feet tall and is exquisitely detailed. You can walk right up to it. There is a fee of Euro 2 and we were able to take pictures inside the church.
