Brückenfigur des Heiligen Johann Nepomuk
Brückenfigur des Heiligen Johann Nepomuk, Bridge statue in Kemnath, Germany
The stone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands on a pedestal near a bridge crossing, representing the patron saint of bridges and waterways.
The monument dates from the 18th century, during a period when statues of Saint John of Nepomuk spread across Central Europe following his canonization in 1729.
The statue represents Saint John of Nepomuk wearing priestly garments and often displays five stars around his head, symbolizing the Latin word tacui meaning 'I kept silent'.
The monument serves as a reference point for local religious ceremonies and stands as a testament to the Catholic heritage of the Bavarian region.
This representation follows the traditional pattern of Nepomuk statues, which were systematically placed near bridges to protect travelers from water-related dangers.
