Notes This shrine contains relics of St. Artemisius given to the butchers guild "Zum Sternen" by Father Raphael Schächtlein, guardian of Freiburg's Capuchin cloister. On a trip to Rome in 1650, Schächtlein acquired the complete body of the martyr Alexander and other relics from what was supposedly a newly opened catacomb, and he distributed them among Freiburg's twelve guilds. An original shrine with the relics of St. Artemisius was first carried through the streets of Freiburg at the Corpus Christi procession of 1653. Over a century later, this shrine was carved by Matthias Faller, who also made new reliquary busts for St. Maximiniana (for the clothmakers and weavers guild "Zum Rosenbaum") and Pope St. Linus (for the coopers guild "Zum Aufdinger").
