In the ossuary there was a Michaels altar (mentioned in 1480). The carved wooden ceiling dates from the same time as the wooden ceiling in the church, the murals from 1513 (date top right at the Last Judgment). The bones were piled up in the ossuary.
Matching this is the Last Judgement and on the east wall Saint Michael with the scales for weighing the souls (corner of the south wall). An impressive, delicately colored Last Judgement covers the entire south wall.
On the west wall, the legend of the grateful dead: a knight prays for the salvation of the dead as he walks past and is one day attacked by robbers. The dead rush to his aid and drive away the horrified robbers. (Restorations: 1955/56 and 2020).
