Ermgard von der Mark ( + 1361), wife of Otto zur Lippe, sister of Engelbert III, archbishop of Cologne. Lots of carved graffitis are on the right side of the sculpture. The oldest date, I found was "1617". Below the shoulder, left to the four marks. Obviously somebody tried a lipstick on here.

Otto zur Lippe (+ 1360) and his wife Ermgard von der Mark (+ 1361). These sculptures have been (horizontal) the top part of a large tomb, placed centrally in the church upto 1820, when it was destroyed. Later the couple was fixed (vertical) onto the wall, where it is now. But the craftsmen changed the positions, as now, Otto is on the right. This explains, why the most old graffitis are on her right - and on his left side.
