Chagall window
The windows of St. Stephen's Church, which were designed from 1978 by Marc Chagall, who wanted them to be understood as a contribution to Jewish-German reconciliation, are unique in Germany. The then pastor of St. Stephan, Monsignor Klaus Mayer, won Chagall as an artist. By his death in 1985, Chagall created a total of nine windows for the front part of the church, depicting biblical figures and events against a background of various bright blue tones. One of the most famous scenes is the temptation of Adam and Eve in paradise. Chagall designed the windows and painted the black plumb bob by hand. These windows of St. Stephen are the last stained glass windows that Chagall created in his life. After his death, work on the remaining windows in St. Stephen was continued by Charles Marq, who had worked with Marc Chagall for 28 years as senior manager of the Jacques Simon glass workshop in Reims.
