Heiliges Grab Altshausen

Heiliges Grab Altshausen, Baroque Holy Sepulchre in Altshausen, Germany.

The Holy Sepulchre of Altshausen is a Baroque painted wooden structure with a large canvas, set up since 2002/03 in its own Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre beside St. Michael's parish church. On each side stand three two-columned arcades, one behind the other, with a painted wooden panel behind every arch; a four-columned arch at the centre holds the final scenes. Angels in robes of different colours crown the six inner capitals, holding the lance with vinegar sponge, Veronica's veil and scourges on the left, the flagellation column, crown of thorns and INRI inscription on the right.

The Holy Sepulchre was commissioned in 1763 by Landkomtur Christian Moritz Graf von Königsegg-Rothenfels. In 1786 Landkomtur Reuttner von Weyl banned such installations under Josephinist reforms. It was reused in 1804, banned again in 1837, and parts were used as scaffolding. After restoration it was displayed in Holy Week 1854 and renovated in 1883 and 1921. Stored in attics until 2001, it was permanently installed in a new chapel built by Carl Herzog von Württemberg in 2002/03.

The chapel displays the Crucifixion on the back canvas, with angels holding Passion symbols adorning the upper arch pairs. Visitors can observe these sacred representations directly and experience their spiritual meaning.

The Holy Sepulchre is accessible during the regular worship hours of the church and visitors can purchase an informational pamphlet on site. The structure is located indoors within the church, so visitors should come with appropriate clothing and expect quiet moments for viewing.

The structure features a resurrected Christ suspended before a large ray of light element, creating a dramatic visual effect. This floating resurrection motif is seldom seen in remaining examples of this type of religious installation art.
