Tomb of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, Renaissance tomb in Hofkirche, Innsbruck, Austria.

The tomb of Maximilian I in Hofkirche is an empty marble tumba of Adnet stone, topped by a kneeling statue of the emperor, enclosed by a wrought-iron grille with marble relief panels and surrounded by 28 over-life-size bronze figures. Two armored bronze statues stand to the right of the grille.

Maximilian I planned the monument during his lifetime for the St. George's Chapel in Wiener Neustadt Castle, but it was never finished there. His grandson Ferdinand I had the cenotaph brought to Innsbruck and built the Hofkirche (1563) to house it; the empty tomb was completed in 1584. During World War II the bronze figures were stored in a brewery cellar in Kundl and returned in 1945.

The bronze figures show medieval and legendary rulers like King Arthur, telling the story of connections between European royal families. They remain a sign of how Maximilian I wanted to place his family within history.

The tomb is located in Hofkirche in central Innsbruck and can be visited during church opening hours. The best time to visit is in the morning when fewer people are around, allowing you to see the details of the bronze figures more clearly.

Of the 40 over-life-size bronze figures planned, only 28 were cast; the rest were never made. The 23 small statues of Habsburg saints, designed by court painter Jörg Kölderer in 1514/15 and 66–69 cm tall, now stand on the north gallery above the cenotaph.
