Epitaph of Wolf Magnus Schweyer

Location in the burial ground


Epitaph of the banker Wolf Magnus Schweyer (1641-1701). Schweyer was married to Anna Maria, a sister of Magnus Daniel Omeis (1646-1708), professor of morals and rhetoric in Altdorf and, from 1697, presiding officer of the Pegnesian Order of the Flowers. He and his wife were admitted to the Order of the Flowers, and he received the religious name Lycidas, while Anna Maria received the name Amorillis (https://www.literaturportal-bayern.de/autorinnen-autoren?task=lpbauthor.default&pnd=1212880455). In 1684, Wolf Magnus inherited the house at Weintraubengasse 2 (later the Hotel Krokodil) from his father, the wine and leather merchant Magnus Schweyer. It contained a stucco ceiling attributed to Carlo Brentano. In 1701, Wolf Magnus Schweyer commissioned the carpenter Hans Heinrich Beer to build a small choir with a broken triangular gable for this property, in the gap of which stood the bust of a warrior. The choir was slightly damaged during World War II and later stored (Erich Mulzer: Nuremberg Bay Windows and Small Churches. Their Nature and Development, Shown on the Still Existing Examples, 1965, p. 218). The Nuremberg Epitaph Foundation financed the restoration and addition of the Baroque epitaph for Wolf Magnus Schweyer with 12,000 euros. Epitaph artist and restorer Thomas Haydn did an outstanding job, not only saving another epitaph from decay, but also adding missing parts, thus completing the work of art. (The Nuremberg Epitaph Foundation / Sven Heublein) ________________________________________ The description by Trechsel (Frankfurt and Leipzig 1735) also reads: "... and below, on the helmet deck, hang two secondary shields, the second of which, on the right, has fish superimposed in the form of a St. Andrew's cross. The left, however, is squared, with a floating cross in the first and fourth quarters, and a laurel wreath in the second and third quarters.

Schweyer was married to Anna Maria, a sister of Magnus Daniel Omeis (1646-1708), professor of morals and rhetoric in Altdorf and, from 1697, presiding officer of the Pegnesian Order of the Flowers. He and his wife were admitted to the Order of the Flowers, and he received the religious name Lycidas, while Anna Maria received the name Amorillis (https://www.literaturportal-bayern.de/autorinnen-autoren?task=lpbauthor.default&pnd=1212880455). In 1684, Wolf Magnus inherited the house at Weintraubengasse 2 (later the Hotel Krokodil) from his father, the wine and leather merchant Magnus Schweyer. It contained a stucco ceiling attributed to Carlo Brentano. In 1701, Wolf Magnus Schweyer commissioned the carpenter Hans Heinrich Beer to build a small choir with a broken triangular gable for this property, in the gap of which stood the bust of a warrior. The choir was slightly damaged during World War II and later stored (Erich Mulzer: Nuremberg Bay Windows and Small Churches. Their Nature and Development, Shown on the Still Existing Examples, 1965, p. 218). The Nuremberg Epitaph Foundation financed the restoration and addition of the Baroque epitaph for Wolf Magnus Schweyer with 12,000 euros. Epitaph artist and restorer Thomas Haydn did an outstanding job, not only saving another epitaph from decay, but also adding missing parts, thus completing the work of art. (The Nuremberg Epitaph Foundation / Sven Heublein) ________________________________________ The description by Trechsel (Frankfurt and Leipzig 1735) also reads: "... and below, on the helmet deck, hang two secondary shields, the second of which, on the right, has fish superimposed in the form of a St. Andrew's cross. The left, however, is squared, with a floating cross in the first and fourth quarters, and a laurel wreath in the second and third quarters.
