This Schäufelin altar was five meters high and four meters wide, one of the largest of its time. After the Reformation, the altar was taken apart into individual pictures. In 1557 only three priests and one brother lived in Christgarten. Since the Counts of Oettinger supported the Reformation from 1525, Christgarten became Protestant.
