Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The right-hand (western) stained glass window in the University Chapel of the choir at the Freiburg Minster dates to 1524-27, according to accounting documents. The pictorial theme relates to the university, which was founded in 1457 and arranged for its own chapel at the minster, in part as a burial site for professors, and set the designs. Although the artist is unknown, art historians have pointed to the influence of Augsburg woodcuts produced in the circle around Hans Burgkmair. In 1876, the panes were washed off and newly painted by Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909).

The patrons of the four university disciplines are depicted before a wooded mountainous background. On the left, St. Luke, according to tradition a physician and dressed in the garb of contemporary doctors, faces St. Catherine of Alexandria, the patron of philosophy. On the right, John the Evangelist, the patron of theology, faces St. Ivo, the patron of jurisprudence wearing the clothing of contemporary jurists. The cult of Ivo, the defender of paupers, widows, and orphans who was born in Bretagne in 1253, was particularly widespread in France.
Hanging in the arches above them are laurel garlands held by putti. They are standing on consoles bearing the coats of arms of the disciplines, on which the patrons are to be seen once again. Above John the Evangelist, however, the other patron of theology is shown, the Apostle Paul. At the peaks of the arches, putti hold the university coat of arms with St. Jerome (left) and the Hapsburg coat of arms of the university's founder, Archduke Albert VI (right).
The putti hovering in the arches also bear emblems of the four disciplines: above St. Luke (medicine) the sort of slate hung at a sickbed; above St. Catherine (philosophy) a celestial sphere; above St. John the Evangelist (theology) a slate with the words "Lex tua medi tacio est ..."; above St. Ivo a scales.

Below the images there was originally an inscription, but it is only fragmentarily preserved: "... hic ubi Christus Jesus ducibus prima habet 1524".
Deutsch: Die Fenster der Universitätskapelle im Hochchor des Freiburger Münsters wurden nach Rechnungsbelegen in den Jahren 1524/27 ausgeführt. Die Themen beziehen sich auf die Universität, die 1457 gegründet wurde und eine eigene Kapelle im Münster einrichtete, zum Teil als Grabstätte für Professoren. Die Universität bestimmte auch die Entwürfe. Der Künstler ist unbekannt, aber Kunsthistoriker haben auf den Einfluss von Augsburger Holzschnitten aus dem Kreis um Hans Burgkmair d. Ä. hingewiesen. 1876 wurden die Scheiben von Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909) abgewaschen und neu bemalt.

Die Schutzpatronen der vier universitären Diszipline sind vor einem bewaldeten Gebirgslandschaft dargestellt. Links steht der hl. Lukas, der Überlieferung nach Arzt und hier im zeitgenössischen Tracht eines Mediziners der hl. Katharina von Alexandrien, Schutzpatronin der Philosophie, gegenüber. Rechts steht Johannes der Evangelist, Schutzpatron der Theologie, dem hl. Ivo, Schutzpatron der Rechtswissenschaft gegenüber. Der Kult um Ivo, Verteidiger von Armen, Witwen und Waisen, der 1437 in Bretagne geboren wurde, war in Frankreich besonders verbreitet.
In den Bögen halten Engel Lorbeergirlanden. Sie stehen auf Konsolen, die die Wappen der Disziplinen tragen, auf denen die Schutzpatronen noch einmal zu sehen sind. Über Johann der Evangelist steht allerdings der andere Schutzpoatron der Theologie, der Evangelist Paulus. In den Bogenscheiteln halten Engel das Wappen der Universität mit dem hl. Hieronymus (links) und das Habsburger Schild des Universitätsgründers Erzherzog Albrecht VI. (rechts).
Die in den Bögen schwebenden Engel tragen auch Embleme der vier Disziplinen: über dem hl. Lukas (Medizin) eine Tafel, wie sie damals am Krankenbett hing; über der hl. Katherina (Philosophie) eine Himmelskugel; über dem hl. Johann Evangelisten (Theologie) eine Tafel mit den Worten "Lex tua medi tacio est ..."; über dem hl. Ivo eine Waage.

Unter den Bildern gab es ursprünglich eine Inschrift, die inzwischen nur fragmentarisch erhalten ist: "... hic ubi Christus Jesus ducibus prima habet 1524".
