Steingaden - Johanneskapelle


The Johanneskapelle ("St. John´s chapel") on the edge of the Welfenmünster´s little graveyard is a round building, built around 1200. Probably another (small) copy of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It was moved to this place within the 15th century - and got a new roof, but there is still a small tympanum - and left and right from the entrance are two lions.
Welf VI (1115 - 1191), founder of the abbey, Duke of Spoleto, margrave of Tuscany and (thanks to Bernard of Clairvaux preaching at Speyer) combattant in the Second Crusade, and his son Welf VII (1140 -1167), who fought in Italy against the pope with Friedrich I (aka "Barbarossa") and died from malaria in Siena, have their graves here.
