high altar:
After the approval of the prince-bishop's ordinariate in 1723, the plan for a large high altar in the choir took on concrete form. Initially, Waldemar Becker from Haßfurt was commissioned with the execution. However, this did not meet the Council's requirements. Finally, on February 20, 1732, an agreement was reached with the Wiesentheid court carpenter, Johann Georg Nessfell, who built the altar.[11]
The draftsman of the altarpiece was Georg Sebastian Urlaub from Thüngersheim, who created the picture in 1733, as can be seen from the inscription "Georg Sebastian Vrlaub pinxit 1733". The altar was consecrated in 1739. The four large figures of saints by the sculptor Reutel from Kitzingen followed in 1771. In 1772 Johann Peter Wagner added a tabernacle to the altar, which he redesigned in 1791 and
The altar fills the east wall of the choir and measures 14×7.3 meters. It has six columns whose bases are decorated with mirrors. The capitals, adorned with rich foliage ornaments, lead to a high cornice. Pulled-back stucco curtains on the outermost pillars give the impression of a theater stage. At the height of the columns there are four larger than life figures of saints. They show (from left to right) Saint Bartholomew, Saint Kilian, Saint Aquiline and Saint George.
The altarpiece in the center of the work shows the Assumption of Mary into heaven. The excerpt presents the Most Holy Trinity. Jesus is sitting on the left with the cross, next to him is God the Father. A dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit flies above the cloud halo. Two worshiping angels frame the scene, with small putti hovering above. Two stucco vases limit the extension.
The tabernacle in front of the altar is white and gold with the Holy of Holies in the centre. Above is the Eye of Providence and a Lamb of God. Two praying putti flank the center. Other angels are at the very edge of the tabernacle
