According to the restorer Brühl, who worked on the sculpture a few years ago on behalf of the parish Effelsberg and replaced missing parts - the left hand with the Bible and the shepherd's staff with the two bells - it was made in the late Middle Ages (15th / 16th century) probably built in Steinfeld Monastery. ... ”
