Annunciation relief from the epitaph of Margaretha von Wildenfels

Annunciation relief from the epitaph of Margaretha von Wildenfels

Annunciation relief from the epitaph of Margaretha von Wildenfels

around 1513


Depicting the donor (d. 1513) and bearing the maker's mark of Veit Stoß. Originally located on a nave pillar, it now stands where the tabernacle of the former sacrament house once stood.

The coat of arms of the von Wildenfels family, a noble family of the Electorate of Saxony, is quartered with a black rose on a gold field and a silver lion on a black field, alternating. On the relief, the lion and rose are depicted side by side in two shields.

Also in the church of Langenzenn, now embedded in the wall of the side aisle, are two bronze coats of arms, likely originating from the deceased's grave. One shows the coat of arms of the von Wildenfels family, and the other a coat of arms with a lion on a triple mount, which is attributed to the noble family of Schwarzburg. Margaretha von Wildenfels was the daughter of Heinrich von Wildenfels, a captain in the service of the Electorate of Saxony and temporary bailiff in Altenburg, and his wife, Countess Margaretha von Schwarzburg.

For many decades (first mentioned in 1477), Margaretha von Wildenfels served as a lady-in-waiting to Electress Anna of Brandenburg (1436–1512), a daughter of Elector Frederick II of Saxony, and later to her daughter, Barbara von Crossen. In her will, Electress Anna bequeathed Margaretha von Wildenfels 500 guilders in gratitude for her many years of loyal service.

Requiem masses were held for Margaretha von Wildenfels, who was also a member of the Brandenburg Order of the Swan, in the Swan Knights' Chapel at St. Gumprecht's Church in Ansbach.
