Innsbruck - A Hofkirche Weathervane Holder Relieved of His High Office
The Hofkirche is a fascinating place, I could spend hours there. Come to think of it, I probably did.
The cenotaph is surrounded by 28 large bronze statues (200–250 cm) of ancestors, relatives and heroes. Their creation took place over between 1502-1555, and occupied a number of artists including Christian Amberger, Albrecht Dürer, Jörg Kölderer, Jörg Polhamer the elder, Gilg Sesselschreiber, Ulrich Tiefenbrunn, and sculptors Peter Vischer the Elder, Hans Leinberger, G. Löffler, Leonhart Magt, and Veit Stoß. Three of the statues are based on designs by Dürer. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofkirche,_Innsbruck for a comprehensive list of who the statues represent, their designer, sculptor and cast.
