Die Rippen des Chorgewölbes sind als Birnenstab mit Kehle ausgebildet. Unter den Gewölbeanffingen ragen nur zum Schmuck, aber ohne tragende Funktion, Männer und eine Frau als Halbplastiken mit Spruchbändern hervor, hinter dem Altar sind es ein Engel und ein Adler. Der Chorbau gehört der Blütezeit der Rochlitzer Bauhütte an.

Peer comment(s):

agree Fantutti (X) : I read the translation of the same site: "The ribs of the Chorgewölbe are trained as a pear staff with throat." I love those translation machines! Well, "coving" seems right to me.
