The group of figures in the upper part of the Baroque altar is by the Nuremberg Renaissance sculptor Hans Peisser (testified by information), a pupil or successor of Veit Stoß, and was completed in 1531. It depicts Christ as Redeemer with Saints Benedict and Agapitus and is one of the few monumental Renaissance masterpieces north of the Alps.
