Gunther of Bohemia

With the consent of his heirs, he bequeathed all his goods to the Abbey of Hersfeld, reserving the right to richly endow and maintain the monastery of Göllingen, the ownership of which he persisted in retaining despite all the efforts of Gotthard to prevent him.

By his charitable counsels mingled with severe reprimands, Gotthard succeeded in dispelling the ambitious views of Gunther, who returned once more to his humble condition at Niederaltaich, and led an edifying life.

[4] Gunther died at about the age of ninety in the hermitage on Březník mountain (in today's Prášily municipality, near Hartmanice, southwestern Bohemia) on 10 October 1045, in the arms of Duke Bretislaus and of Šebíř, Bishop of Prague.

[3] St. Gunther's Way (German: Gunthersteig; Czech: Vintířova stezka) is a walking holiday route that runs from Niederalteich Abbey on the Danube via Rinchnach and the Guntherstein into Bohemia.

[5] Departing from the Niederalteich Monastery on the Danube, the path goes deep into the Bavarian Forest and across the Czech border to hamlet Dobrá Voda (now part of town Hartmanice).

During the reconstruction, interior of the church was newly created by Czech artist Vladimíra Tesařová in a unique way: altar, sacrificial table, lectern, crèche, Stations of the Cross and the statue of Gunther himself are all cast from glass.
