Copy by Georg Leistner (1854-1943), completed in 1891. Original in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM) See also: 2nd Station of the Cross 3rd Station of the Cross 4th Station of the Cross 5th Station of the Cross 6th Station of the Cross 7th Station of the Cross Entombment According to Helge Weingärtner, the Stations of the Cross likely began at the bridgehead in front of the (old) Tiergärtner Gate (animal gardener's gate), cf. Helge Weingärtner, Zwei Kreuzwege in St. Johannis [Two Stations of the Cross in St. John's], in: MVGN 107 (2020), pp. 135–174, here p. 142. Johann Kamann suggested the garden of Sebald II Ketzel, which, according to Kamann, bordered directly on the outer Tiergärtner Gate and which the council bought from Ketzel's widow in 1538, as it needed the property for the expansion of the fortifications in front of the Tiergärtner Gate, cf. Johann Kamann: Die Pilgerfahrten Nürnberger Bürger nach Jerusalem [The Pilgrimages of Nuremberg Citizens to Jerusalem], in: MVGN 2 (1880), p. 78–163, here p. 86. Karl-Heinz Enderle identified the current 5th Station as the original first station, which initially stood at the aforementioned location and was later moved to its present site. See the 5th Station of the Cross and Karl-Heinz Enderle: The Adam Kraft Stations of the Cross and the True Pilate's House, in: Nuremberg Old Town Reports 51 (2025), pp. 56–81. Sebald Ketzel (d. 1530), who traveled to the Holy Land in 1498 in the company of Duke Henry of Saxony, inherited the garden from his father of the same name, who had already owned it in 1491. It is unknown whether Ketzel or other garden owners on whose properties the Stations of the Cross stood were involved in their establishment. The Stations of the Cross were likely private donations. Sebald Ketzel (d. 1530), who traveled to the Holy Land in 1498 in the company of Duke Henry of Saxony, inherited the garden from his father, also named Sebald Ketzel, who had owned it as early as 1491. For information on indulgences for the Stations of the Cross, see the source: Neapolitan Mirror of Wrath at the beginning and end of the Stations of the Cross https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb11213972?page=25 (Munich Digitization Center / Bavarian State Library) The pamphlet "Neapolitan Mirror of Wrath," for which neither author nor place of publication is indicated, deals, according to its title, with the plague that raged in Naples in 1656. It was offered for sale at the Frankfurt Easter Fair in 1657 by the publisher Wolfgang Endtner the Younger. It contains a remarkably large amount of information on works by Adam Kraft and a previously unknown indulgence letter from Pope Leo X, dated 1513, for the Stations of the Cross, which began "under the Tiergärtner Gate," that is, outside the (old) Tiergärtner Gate, and ended at the chapel in the cemetery called "To the Agony of the Mother of God," the Holzschuher Chapel, with its sculpture group depicting the Entombment of Christ. The indulgence could be obtained by walking the route on certain days, including Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and praying five Our Fathers and five Hail Marys before each image. The Bishop of Bamberg confirmed and increased the indulgence. Emil Weller's "Repertorium typographicum," Nördlingen 1864, p. 89, lists under number 754 a "letter of indulgence from Pope Leo X of 1513, for all who perform their devotions on certain feast days at the Stations of the Cross in front of the Thiergärtner Gate in Nuremberg," which is kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. This oblong octavo sheet is no longer extant. The Stations of the Cross by Adam Kraft have no connection with the crucifix of Mary and John donated by the belt maker Peter Hurrer in 1490, which can be seen in Albrecht Dürer's drawing of St. John's Church and its surroundings (formerly in the Kunsthalle Bremen). The crucifix was a private donation, as was the Mount of Olives grotto beneath the castle, donated by the carpenter Jobst Üppig (Uppig). The grotto, which was demolished in 1820 due to weathering, had been approved by the council on March 13, 1494, and is still commemorated today by the street "Am Ölberg" (At the Mount of Olives), which runs along its former location. It was within sight of the property at Burgstraße 20, where Üppig lived at the time.Feedback geben

Original in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM) See also: 2nd Station of the Cross 3rd Station of the Cross 4th Station of the Cross 5th Station of the Cross 6th Station of the Cross 7th Station of the Cross Entombment According to Helge Weingärtner, the Stations of the Cross likely began at the bridgehead in front of the (old) Tiergärtner Gate (animal gardener's gate), cf. Helge Weingärtner, Zwei Kreuzwege in St. Johannis [Two Stations of the Cross in St. John's], in: MVGN 107 (2020), pp. 135–174, here p. 142. Johann Kamann suggested the garden of Sebald II Ketzel, which, according to Kamann, bordered directly on the outer Tiergärtner Gate and which the council bought from Ketzel's widow in 1538, as it needed the property for the expansion of the fortifications in front of the Tiergärtner Gate, cf. Johann Kamann: Die Pilgerfahrten Nürnberger Bürger nach Jerusalem [The Pilgrimages of Nuremberg Citizens to Jerusalem], in: MVGN 2 (1880), p. 78–163, here p. 86. Karl-Heinz Enderle identified the current 5th Station as the original first station, which initially stood at the aforementioned location and was later moved to its present site. See the 5th Station of the Cross and Karl-Heinz Enderle: The Adam Kraft Stations of the Cross and the True Pilate's House, in: Nuremberg Old Town Reports 51 (2025), pp. 56–81. Sebald Ketzel (d. 1530), who traveled to the Holy Land in 1498 in the company of Duke Henry of Saxony, inherited the garden from his father of the same name, who had already owned it in 1491. It is unknown whether Ketzel or other garden owners on whose properties the Stations of the Cross stood were involved in their establishment. The Stations of the Cross were likely private donations. Sebald Ketzel (d. 1530), who traveled to the Holy Land in 1498 in the company of Duke Henry of Saxony, inherited the garden from his father, also named Sebald Ketzel, who had owned it as early as 1491. For information on indulgences for the Stations of the Cross, see the source: Neapolitan Mirror of Wrath at the beginning and end of the Stations of the Cross https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb11213972?page=25 (Munich Digitization Center / Bavarian State Library) The pamphlet "Neapolitan Mirror of Wrath," for which neither author nor place of publication is indicated, deals, according to its title, with the plague that raged in Naples in 1656. It was offered for sale at the Frankfurt Easter Fair in 1657 by the publisher Wolfgang Endtner the Younger. It contains a remarkably large amount of information on works by Adam Kraft and a previously unknown indulgence letter from Pope Leo X, dated 1513, for the Stations of the Cross, which began "under the Tiergärtner Gate," that is, outside the (old) Tiergärtner Gate, and ended at the chapel in the cemetery called "To the Agony of the Mother of God," the Holzschuher Chapel, with its sculpture group depicting the Entombment of Christ. The indulgence could be obtained by walking the route on certain days, including Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and praying five Our Fathers and five Hail Marys before each image. The Bishop of Bamberg confirmed and increased the indulgence. Emil Weller's "Repertorium typographicum," Nördlingen 1864, p. 89, lists under number 754 a "letter of indulgence from Pope Leo X of 1513, for all who perform their devotions on certain feast days at the Stations of the Cross in front of the Thiergärtner Gate in Nuremberg," which is kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. This oblong octavo sheet is no longer extant. The Stations of the Cross by Adam Kraft have no connection with the crucifix of Mary and John donated by the belt maker Peter Hurrer in 1490, which can be seen in Albrecht Dürer's drawing of St. John's Church and its surroundings (formerly in the Kunsthalle Bremen). The crucifix was a private donation, as was the Mount of Olives grotto beneath the castle, donated by the carpenter Jobst Üppig (Uppig). The grotto, which was demolished in 1820 due to weathering, had been approved by the council on March 13, 1494, and is still commemorated today by the street "Am Ölberg" (At the Mount of Olives), which runs along its former location. It was within sight of the property at Burgstraße 20, where Üppig lived at the time.Feedback geben
