St. Stephen’s Church – a Canvas for Chagall

The oldest hall church on the Middle Rhine was built in the XI century and rebuilt up to the present time. Much of the original decoration of the temple has been lost, but survived are the medieval altar board, a ciborium of the XVI century and the bell of 1493, brought from another church.

The main decoration here is the Chagall choir windows with biblical scenes made by the artist as a symbol of reconciliation of Jewish and German peoples. Chagall depicted the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, the history of the Jews before the Crucifixion, his own vision of God, a few biblical figures, as well as illustrated three psalms. A number of stained-glass windows in the church are made by Chagall’s friend and pupil Charles Marq.
