Denkmal Christoph von Schmid, Dinkelsbuhl

A beautiful memorial for the good Christoph. The seated depiction of the deeply religious writer finds its roots in the family home, which was shaped by the civil service for the Teutonic Order. I was also employed in the public service and followed the example of the "von Schmid" family by supporting my children in the fields of theology and philosophy. Unfortunately, the boys went their own way and now work as tax consultants and landscape gardeners. So be it. At Christmas we still sing the songs of Christoph. Happy Holidays! :-)

He studied theology, was a Roman Catholic priest and a writer of hymns and children's books. One of the most well-known songs is the Christmas carol "Your little children are coming".
