In Eternal Memory: Discover the Martinskirche with New Eyes

A Discovery Tour Through the Stone Memories of St. Martin

This guided tour opens the view to a rare, fascinating side of the Landshut collegiate basilica of St. Martin: its grave and memorial inscriptions, which tell as stone documents of faith, rank, and remembrance. On Friday, June 19, 2026, Dr. Susanne Wolf will guide through a special place of Christian memorial culture and make the historical significance of the Martinskirche for Landshut impressively experienceable.

When Inscriptions Bring History to Life

In the powerful late Gothic hall church, epitaphs, building inscriptions, and memorial plaques reveal their full effect. Those who look closely will discover traces of the courtly nobility, the clergy, and the urban bourgeoisie. The tour shows how closely piety, social rank, and culture of memory were intertwined.

Between High Altar, Lettering, and Gothic Stone Masonry

A special focus is on the inscriptions for Hans von Burghausen and Martin Mair, as well as on the stone high altar from 1424.
