Description: "This book provides a complete view of German Gothic church architecture. Architectural historian Norbert Nussbaum surveys church construction from the early thirteenth to the early sixteenth century in the German-language regions of medieval Europe. These areas of the Holy Roman Empire - including Bohemia, Austria, northern Switzerland, Alsace, Silesia and East Prussia - were hereditary fiefdoms at the time, and their diverse cultures contributed to the extreme variety of German Gothic.

Nussbaum looks at this rich period of architectural history from many perspectives and offers an informative tour of dozens of German Gothic churches, spectacular for both their beauty and variety."--BOOK JACKET.
