Building Plan of the Freiburg Minster Tower, etwa mittleres Drittel 15. Jahrhundert
About the object
The plan shows the western aspect of the tower of Freiburg Minster. It corresponds largely to reality, and has been interpreted either as a building survey or as a copy of an actual construction plan. Only the lower part shows a picture gallery instead of an open entrance. The plan belongs to the context of Matthäus Ensinger's work, who was a master builder in Bern from 1420 and in Ulm from 1446. The stained appearance and partial damage to the parchment were caused by moisture.
