Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The windows of the Schnewlin Chapel in the choir of the Freiburg Minster, strongly painted over in 1870-71 by Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909), date to 1525. According to an inscription, they were financed by the Schnewlin Gresser Endowment in memory of the Freiburg patrician and mayor Johannes Schnewlin, who died in 1347. The artistic and religious theme of the windows is St. John the Baptist, Schnewlin's name patron. The windows' formal similarity to those of the University Chapel suggests that they were likely designed by the Hans Burgkmair circle.
The left-hand (eastern) window treats the martyrdom of St. John, who was beheaded at the command of King Herod Antipas because John had publicly condemned his marriage to his niece and former sister-in-law Herodias. On the left, Herod Antipas and Herodias are depicted at a set table in an interior room strongly shaped by perspective, while on the right their daughter Salome enters in the company of three ladies-in-waiting and presents them with the head of John on a platter. The composition encompasses both window panes, framed at the sides with spiral columns topped by Renaissance arches with blue ornaments.
Deutsch: Die Fenster der Schnewlin-Kapelle im Hochchor des Freiburger Münsters wurden 1525 angefertigt und 1870/71 von Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909) stark übermalt. Laut einer Inschrift wurden sie von der Schnewlin Gresser Stiftung finanziert, die den Nachlass des Freiburger Patriziers und Bürgermeisters Johannes Schnewlin (†1347) verwaltete. Das künstlerische und religiöse Thema der Fenster ist der hl. Johannes der Täufer, Schnewlins Namenspatron. Ihre formale Ähnlichkeit mit den Fenstern der Universitätskapelle legt den Schluss nahe, dass sie im Kreise um Hans Burgkmair entstanden sind.
Das linke (östliche) Fenster thematisiert den Märtyrertod Johannes des Täufers, der auf Befehl des Königs Herodes Antipas geköpft wurde, nachdem Johannes dessen Ehe mit der eigenen Nichte und ehemaligen Schwägerin Herodias öffentlich angeprangert hatte. Auf der linken Seite sitzen Herod Antipas und Herodias am gedeckten Tisch in einem perspektivistisch gestalteten Innenraum, während auf der rechten Seiten Salome, den Kopf von Johannes auf einem Teller tragend, in Begleitung von drei Zofen den Raum betritt. Beide Bilder sind seitlich von gedrehten Säulen eingerahmt, die durch Renaissancebögen mit blauer Ornamentik abgedeckt sind.
