Als eifersüchtiger und jähzorniger Mann wollte Wenzel unbedingt erfahren, was seine Frau Sophie dem Priester unter dem Siegel des Beichtgeheimnisses anvertraut hatte.
Doch trotz grausamer Folter wahrte Nepomuk das Beichtgeheimnis, so daß schließlich König Wenzel den treuen und verschwiegenen Nepomuk 1393 von der Moldaubrücke in den reißenden Fluß stürzen ließ.
Die beiden Reliefs am Sockel der Statue stellen diese Ereignisse dar.

But in spite of atrocious torture Nepomuk kept the confessions to himself so that finally King Wenceslas had the loyal and discreet Nepomuk in 1393 thrown from the bridge and drowned in the rapid Muldaw River.
The two reliefs represent these events.
