Stone shrine in the form of a crenellated chapel with colorful roof tiles, standing on four twisted pillars
The shrine, originally located in the center of the church, was moved from St. Peter's Chapel to St. Blaise Chapel in 1882. It depicts the church's patron saint, St. Deocarus, and the three patron saints of the Diocese of Eichstätt: the siblings Willibald, Wunibald, and Walburga. The current paintwork dates from 1882. St. Deocarus (also known as Theutgar and Dietkar) was a hermit who came to the court of Charlemagne as a disciple of Alcuin, becoming his confessor. He founded the Benedictine monastery of Hasenried-Herrieden in 795. St. Deocarus was considered a healer of eye ailments. // Historical note: In March 1316, King Louis the Bavarian narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by Count Kraft at his camp in Herrieden. Count Kraft von Hohenlohe fought for Frederick the Fair of Habsburg. Nuremberg mustered a substantial force in the campaign of reprisal against the count. The persecuted count escaped, and Herrieden was burned to the ground as a result of the battle. As thanks for their participation, the citizens of Nuremberg received fragments of the relics, which were considered to have healing powers. In 1406, a special altar dedicated to St. Deocarus, containing the relics, was consecrated in St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg. The current altar was donated by Andreas Volckamer in 1436/37.
