Station 13 in Altusried represents the moment when Jesus is taken down from the cross after his crucifixion. This scene is known as the Deposition or Descent from the Cross. The Christian Way of the Cross places Station 13 within a devotional sequence recalling Jesus Christ’s final day. The sequence begins with his condemnation and ends with his burial.

Artistic depictions show Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus carefully removing Jesus’ body from the cross. Mary and other followers may mourn nearby at the cross. The scene often includes a ladder, while the figures express compassion and care during the removal. Station 13 offers a focus for reflection, prayer, and remembrance. The wider tradition connects religious practice with public art and cultural heritage in churches, churchyards, and outdoor places. These scenes can also appear along pilgrimage routes across Europe and beyond. Christians developed the Way of the Cross to follow Jesus’ path spiritually without travelling to Jerusalem. The station follows the scenes of the Passion and precedes Jesus’ burial. The tradition presents Station 13 as a marker of Christian belief and artistic tradition.
