Rochus Chapel / Window sV / Saints Ursula and Apollonia

Rochus Chapel / Window sV / Saints Ursula and Apollonia

Rochus Chapel / Window sV / Saints Ursula and Apollonia

1520


Inscriptions: Encircling the halos of the two saints are the following petitions: S · VRSALA · BIT · GOT · FVR VNS (3a); S · ABOLONIA · BIT · GOT · FVS · VNS (3b). Saints Ursula and Apollonia, facing each other, allude to the respective nature of their martyrdom with their individual attributes – the arrow in one case and the pliers with the broken tooth in the other.

The British princess Ursula, along with her 11,000 virgin companions, was killed by arrows by the Huns near Cologne on their return journey from Rome. The Christian virgin Apollonia, who according to Augustine died by burning (voluntary leap into the fire) in Alexandria in 249 AD, and according to Eusebius by the sword, was tortured, according to later legend, primarily by having his teeth pulled out.

The coats of arms of Imhoff and Haller/Nützel are in the corners.

A two-light, five-line window depicting Saints Ursula and Apollonia in lines 3 and 4. Two larger additions from different restorations are visible in Saint Ursula's blue cloak. Saint Apollonia's robe exhibits extensive, continuous layers of corrosion on the exterior, significantly impairing its transparency.
