In the middle of the Hofkirche in Innsbruck, the sacophargus
of Emperor Maximilian I, (d.1519) is surrounded
by 28 over-life-sized statues of Maximilians ancestors and contemporaries.
A collection of sculptures by some of Europe's fines artists,
including 3 statues designed by Albrecht Duerer.
Kaiser Maximilian I liess seine Begraebnisstaette,
von 28 ueberlebensgrosse Statuen seiner Vorfahren und Zeitgenossen umgeben,
in der Hofkirche zu Innsbruck errichten.
Leider starb er in Wiener Neustadt, zu weit von Innsbruck entfernt,
um seine Leiche waehrend der Sommertemperaturen nach Innsbruck zu ueberfuehren.
