In 1732, the well in the middle of the Nowy Targ Square (before 1945 Neumarkt) in Wrocław (before 1945 Breslau) was replaced by an impressive Baroque fountain depicting Neptune, the Roman god of waters and seas. Over time, this artwork became part of local culture, traditions and customs. The figure of Neptune accompanied the trade in the square, New Year’s Eve parades and the Christmas market. In 1945, during the siege of the city, the surrounding buildings were mostly destroyed, together with the fountain. An amazing discovery has been made lately: The original Baroque statue of Neptune was replaced with a new one in the 19th century. The older one ended up in private hands and was taken out of the city. As a result, it has survived to the present day.

Artistic projects created within the framework of the Cistercian patronage in Krzeszów are among the most important achievements in Baroque architecture and sculpture in Silesia. The current article attempts to thoroughly verify the existing knowledge regarding the modernisation of the furnishings and decoration of the medieval abbey church in Krzeszów, carried out in the second half of the 17th and the early 18th century, and to consider the guild practices of the sculptors and carpenters working for the Cistercians at that time. On the basis of archival sources and early printed materials, the author concluded, contrary to previous findings, that the craftsmen working in Krzeszów were not employed in one workshop under the management of the sculptor Georg Schrötter, but in separate workshops cooperating with each other – a fact that may have an impact on the issues of attribution and dating of the activity of individual groups of artists. Schrötter produced only the figural sculptures, while the altars and other furnishings together with their ornamentation were designed and made by the woodcarvers Stephan Kose and Christoph Hoffmann. In addition, Hoffmann did not start working for the Krzeszów abbey after Kose’s death in 1698, as hitherto thought, but had been employed there since the mid-1670s.

Realizacje artystyczne powstałe w ramach mecenatu cystersów w Krzeszowie zaliczane są do najważniejszych osiągnięć architektury i plastyki barokowej na Śląsku. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę gruntownej weryfikacji dotychczasowej wiedzy na temat modernizacji wyposażenia i wystroju średniowiecznej świątyni opackiej w Krzeszowie, przeprowadzonej w 2. połowie XVII i na początku XVIII w., oraz namysłu nad praktykami cechowymi rzeźbiarzy i stolarzy pracujących w tym czasie dla cystersów. Na podstawie źródeł archiwalnych i starodruków autor artykułu stwierdził, wbrew dotychczasowym ustaleniom, że rzemieślnicy czynni w Krzeszowie nie pracowali w jednej pracowni kierowanej przez rzeźbiarza Georga Schröttera, ale w osobnych współpracujących ze sobą warsztatach, co może mieć wpływ na kwestie atrybucji oraz datowania aktywności poszczególnych grup artystów. Schrötter był jedynie wykonawcą rzeźby figuralnej, natomiast ołtarze i inne sprzęty wraz z ornamentyką projektowali i realizowali stolarze: Stephan Kose oraz Christoph Hoffmann, który nie rozpoczął współpracy z opactwem krzeszowskim po śmierci Kosego w 1698 r., jak dotychczas sądzono, lecz już w połowie lat 70. XVII w.
