About this title

Synopsis

Nussbaum aims to provide a complete overview of German Gothic church architecture between the early 13th and early 16th centuries, looking at Germany, Bohemia, Austria, northern Switzerland, Alsace and Silesia.

Reviews

Long given short shrift by architectural historians, Germany's medieval Gothic churches, from small parish buildings and private chapels to major cathedrals, are the focus of this excellent overview. Nussbaum (architectural history, Univ. of Dortmund, Germany) encompasses a wide swath of church construction from 1200 to 1500 in the Holy Roman Empire's Nationis Germanicae. The author traces French origins, details German Gothic development and stylistic manifestations, and concludes with important Saxon and southern German churches of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The work is thorough and scholarly (746 footnotes), heavily illustrated (246 photographs, maps, floorplans, and elevations), and well documented (a multipart bibliography of mainly German sources, a glossary, a chronology, and persons and places indexes). Above all, the breadth is formidableDchurches in over 600 places are covered. Nussbaum writes intelligently about Gothic research and sagely accommodates regional variations. Highly recommended for academic collections.DRussell T. Clement, Northwestern Univ. Lib., Evanston, IL
