REMAPPING THE CITY

In 1474 the parish fabrica ecclesiae of St. Jakob in Rothenburg ob der Tauber purchased a painted panel of Saint Wolfgang.1 The following year a local tradesman, Georg Laterer, witnessed a miracle by the same saint. This miracle instigated a new pilgrimage in Rothenburg and led to the construction and furnishing of a chapel dedicated to Saint Wolfgang, complete with a painted altarpiece containing sculpted figures by the workshop of Tilman Riemenschneider in its central shrine (fig. 70).
