Monument to the memory of Sebaldus of Nuremberg.
Sebaldus of Nuremberg probably lived in the 8th century as a hermit in the vicinity of Nuremberg. According to legend, he was a Danish king's son who had broken his engagement with a French princess to work as a believer after a pilgrimage to Rome. After his death an ox team would have brought his body to the then Pieterskapel in Nuremberg, where he was joined. On its grave, the Sebaldusk church was founded from 1223 to 1274. Pilgrimage to his grave contributed to the bloom of the city. Particularly at the tomb of Zebaldus is that, as a remnant of a Roman Catholic saint, is located in an evangelical church.
Sebaldus was declared holy by Pope Martinus V in 1425. He is the patron saints of the city of Nuremberg. His holiday is celebrated on August 19th. He is usually depicted with staff, rosary and musselschelp.
