The light late-Gothic church interior of St. Ulrich and St. Afra is distinguished by the three multi-storey monumental carved altars by the Weilheim sculptor Hans Degler. Reichle's Crucifixion group is in the centre of the choir. The sculptor's mastery of the bronze medium is evident in the figures. With wide gestures, the voluminous figures lay claim to the broad space of the crossing, in which they are clearly defined by sharp lines. The group, which consists of Christ on the cross an the grieving Virgin, with St Mary Magdalen and St John standing by, may be considered as the joint work of the sculptor and the Augsburg bronze foundry run by Wolfgang Neidhart the Younger, a member of an old brass-founding family.
