The wooden epitaph of the city councillor Johann Henrich (8.11.1667 – 19.03.1746).
The epitaph consists of two parts, in the upper part – the coat of arms, in the lower part – an inscription plate with a text in German, which gives brief details about the deceased. The inscription plate is surrounded by a green laurel wreath, complemented by acanthus leaves in the upper corners. German text:
