After the Petersstift in Basel became responsible for the church, it had the whole church repainted (1507).

The north side shows the passion story. It begins at the top left (in the west, where the sun sets) with the entry into Jerusalem, the Lord's Supper, the imprisonment, etc. - some things were destroyed after the two windows were installed - the cross-nailing between the two windows can be clearly seen, still faint the Descent from the Cross.

The passion story ends with the resurrection niche below: This painting dates back to around 1450 (like the Arbogast legend from the time of Konrad Münch-Löwenberg). The colors are very well preserved here because this niche was walled up after the Reformation and the painting was not discovered around 1880 and was therefore not whitewashed twice.

Presumably the image of the dead Christ was placed here during the Passion. The dead Christ was then no longer to be seen at Easter, because he was substituted with the image of the risen Christ with the victory flag.
