Saint Mary's Assumption, Eriskirch/ Maria Himmelfahrt , Eriskirch

Judgement day wallpainting from the nave, presumably somewhat older than the choir wallpaintings It is not really good preserved, partially destroyed by scupture recesses added later but a typical medieval image. Here the part with the sword and flower growing from the judges mouth to symbolize the kind words for the good sent to heaven and the condemnation for the bad sent to hell. / Das Juengste Geicht aus dem Kirchenschiff, das etwas aelter sein soll als die Szenen in der Apsis. Es ist schlecht erhalten, und zum Teil durch spaetere Wandnieschen zerstoert, aber es ist die uebliche mittelalterliche Darstellung. Hier ist der Teil mit dm Richter dem Bluemchen und Schwert aus dem Mund wachsen, als Symbol fuer die Worte die die guten Menschen in den Himmel und die schlechten zur Hoelle schicken.
