Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The wise virgins, sculptures (ca. 1460-1481) by Erhart Kueng (1420-1507), main portal, Minster, Berne, Switzerland
Deutsch: Die klugen Jungfrauen, Sandsteinskulpturen, Hauptportal, Berner Münster, Bern, Schweiz.

Die lebensgrossen Sandsteinfiguren der klugen und törichten Jungfrauen am Hauptportal wurden ca. 1460-1481 durch den Steinmetz Erhart Küng (1420-1507) geschaffen und bei der Restauration 1964-1991 durch originalgetreue, bemalte Kopien ersetzt.

Die erste Jungfrau von links trägt eine Rolle mit der Inschrift: "Unser Oel jst nit feil / das jrs wol verstant / gond reichendtz bj / de koffern dies feil hant" (etwa: Unser Oel ist nicht verkäuflich, nur damit ihr es richtig versteht; geht und holt es bei den Händlern, die es anbieten).

(Gleichnis von den klugen und törichten Jungfrauen, Matthäus 25, 1-13)
