At that time, Steinfurt was the centre of religious life in a larger area due to numerous church festivals and processions, reports the diocesan archives.

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from Prague's Charles Bridge into the Vltava River on royal orders and drowned. His statue can still be found on many bridges today. Churches dedicated to him are much rarer, such as here in Burgsteinfurt.
John of Nepomuk is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person, John of Nepomuk holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession).
The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.
