Holy Grave from 1763 in it's Modern Chapel / Heiliges Grab von 1763 in seiner Modernen Kapelle

Those stage scenery like things where never meant to be displayed in a chapel for themselves year round but to conceal regular altars and redo the whole church in the time before easter. Litirgical reforms in the 1950's outlawed the practice and most of the kind are now greatly damaged or fully gone, so this is very rare and unique / Diese Teile in der Art von Theaterkulissen waren eigentlich nicht dazu bestimmt das ganze Jahr in ihrer eigenen Kapelle ausgestellt zu werden, man verwendete sie um in der Karwoche alle Altaere zu verstecken und die Kirche optisch zu veraendern. In den 1850ern wurde im Zug der Liturgiereform die Praxis verboten und die meissten Sets dieser Art sind heute unvollstandig oder ganz dahin, so das dieses hier als grosse Besonderheit gilt.
