the three-arch stone bridge with a Nepomuk figure from 1794 was built over the Elsbach. In the background the former tithe barn.

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (archbishop's vicar general) in Bohemia who was martyred in Prague in 1393. He was thrown into the Vltava from Prague's Charles Bridge by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or at many bridges - like here over the Elsbach. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron saint of the secret of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes with the other he puts a finger to his lips as a sign of silence (which is heard at confession).

The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.
