1. This mostly glass enclosure protects the images from the effects of ACID RAIN, algae, frost, and vandals.

Cette enceinte principalement fabriquée de verre protège les images des effets des PLUIES ACIDES, des algues, du gel et des vandales.

2. The tombs were later subject to complete devastation and the crypt in the abbatial chapel was bricked up after thieves had broken in (casting about the bones of Abbot Reitenberger and stealing jewellery from the coffin of Abbot Clementso). (Only the relics of Abbot Helmer were spared of the raging vandals because his embalmed body was in such a well-preserved state due to the climate in the crypt that his appearance probably scared the criminals away.

Le caveau de l ́abbé dans la chapelle fut pillé, les ossements de l ́abbé Reitenberger éparpillés et les parures du cercueil de l ́abbé Clément sont volées ; la crypte fut donc murée (les vandales épargnèrent les restes de l ́abbé Helmer dont le corps embaumé était tellement bien conservé que son aspect dut probablement faire peur aux malfaiteurs).
