The Katharinenkirche in Oppenheim is one of the most important Gothic churches on the Rhine between Strasbourg and Cologne. They were built in sections in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. From the foundation building, the west towers have been preserved. The gothic new building began in 1275-79 with the almost centrally constructed, harmoniously balanced eastern parts. The three-nave nave was completed in 1333. The south side facing the city is designed as a lavish showcase facade with large tracery windows and filigree tracery architecture. By contrast, the west choir of Madern Gerthener, which towers above the nave and was consecrated in 1439, appears to be simply understated and, thanks to its enormous height, acts as a uniform, completely through-windowed room. In addition to remains of medieval stained glass, the many high-quality portrait grave monuments are to be emphasized. 🚴♂️
