Peter- and Paulusaltar
In 1677, the Bricklayers' and Stonemasons' Guild donated the first pillar altar in the northeast corner of the nave, the Peter and Paul Altars, with an altarpiece by Tobias Pock. This is the same artist who created the large main altarpiece with the "Stoning of St. Stephen".
The altar of Peter and Paul shows the two princes of the apostles.
The columns are flanked by Leopold and Emperor Heinrich, above them are the plague patrons Sebastian and Rochus, on top Peter with the key.
Saint Leopold III.
In the upper picture the four crowned patron saints of the stonemasons are depicted with circles in front of a drawing table, above them Mary with Child.
This Maria child representation is based on the Mariahilfbild by Lucas Cranach..
