Die Josefskirche Weiden ist sein Meisterwerk: Auf den Spuren von Wilhelm Vierling

Der akademische Künstler Wilhelm Vierling bleibt durch viele Werke unvergessen – ob mit seinen Figuren und Altarbildern in Kirchen oder als Landschaftsmaler. Eine Ausstellung im Stadtmuseum Weiden zeigt auch Unbekanntes.

von Stephanie Hladik

Das Altarrelief in der Unterkirche von Herz Jesu Weiden (hier ein Gipsmodell) ist für Dr. Sebastian Schott vom Stadtmuseum eines der besten Schnitzkunstwerke Vierlings. An der Wand das geschnitzte Grabkreuz für die Eltern von Dr. Josef Pfleger, Georg und Anna Pfleger aus Pressath.
