The next special public tour of St. Mary's Church in Frankfurt (Oder) is on the programme: on Wednesday, 10 June at 3.00 pm, the focus will be on the important stained glass of the choir windows. "From the beginning and end of the world – the choir windows of St Mary's" is the title of the one-hour tour of the church.
The three choir windows, which are more than 650 years old, are known as the glass treasure of St Mary's Church. Nowhere else in Brandenburg and beyond is there a comparable collection of medieval stained glass. The Antichrist window is even considered unique.
During this guided tour, participants will learn details about the creation of the windows and their whereabouts after the Second World War, when they were taken to Russia and were considered lost for decades. They returned to Frankfurt (Oder) in 2002 and were extensively restored. Selected scenes from the biblical window motifs and the special features of the Antichrist window will also be discussed.
