Description
The stained glass window made by Otto Linnemann of Frankfurt, described in conservation studies as "Luther joining in marriage" was funded by city councillor Horst Elsner. The reformer blesses a richly dressed bride and groom in the temple, accompanied by another wealthy couple and two page-boys holding candles on long wooden shafts.
