- Description
- The early Baroque stalls in the chancel were built in stages from 1586 to 1637. In 1586, the late Renaissance seats, which are now the first rows of seats, were created, and around 1632 the choirs (music galleries) above them. Between 1635 and 1637, Fabian Möller made the stalls with richly decorated, bas-relief backdrops with early Baroque features and combined them with the Late Renaissance stalls and galleries above. Their capacity (in the upper row 25 seats from the north and 21 from the south, in the lower rows almost the same number) spectacularly exceeded the needs of the parish clergy and created excellent conditions for extraordinary ceremonies. It cannot be ruled out that representatives of the urban elite also had the right to sit there.
