Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg, S.T.B.

Here rest the bones of

Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg, S.T.B.

who, as a true shepherd, tended this congregation

with the Gospel of Christ for 35 years.

His spirit joyfully escaped its shell,

which collapsed here on the

23rd of May, 1815, in the 62nd year of his pilgrimage.
