Westphalian Last Supper will be a scene, among other things. from the church window above the north portal of the Wiesenkirche in Soest. The window by an unknown artist dates from around 1500. It shows a classic Last Supper with Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles.

However, the artist moved the action of the Last Supper to Westphalia. Instead of unleavened bread and wine, there are the specialties of the Soest homeland. On the table there is a pig's head on the left and a ham on the right. The sixth apostle from the left has a beer mug with a lid in his hand; on the right edge of the picture an apostle is drinking from a beer mug. There are also shot glasses next to the ham. There is a basket of Westphalian bread under the table, and on the far right at the edge of the picture someone has a piece of bread in his hand.

The Westphalian Last Supper can be admired in the Wiesenkirche. The church is an impressive sacred building that is particularly beautiful on the inside

The Protestant Wiesenkirche or St. Maria zur Wiese Church in Soest is considered a perfectly shaped Westphalian hall church. Characterized by an almost square floor plan, its interior offers the viewer from some points of view the impression of a pure window front, supported by graceful bundle pillars. The high window panels almost reach the floor in the choir. During the day the church appears light and flooded with light. Three almost equally high, very flat arched naves give the room its symmetry. The building history spans centuries. In place of the previous Romanesque building, the foundation stone for today's church was laid in 1313. The twin towers that define the exterior were not erected until the second half of the 19th century.
