Schmidmayer-Window

1509

Overall view


1.834The stained-glass windows were conceived from the outset as partially encased in clear glass to bring more light into the chapel. Some of the designs were based on those of Dürer, with the collaboration of Hans von Kulmbach. The upper register depicts the legend of St. Lawrence, the lower register a series of coats of arms from the Hirsvogel workshop. The coats of arms, from left to right, are: 1. Hans II Schmidmayer (d. 1499) with the Franck coat of arms (for Elisabeth, née Franck, d. 1509); 2. Sebastian Marb (d. 1509) with the Schmidmayer coat of arms (for Ursula, née Schmidmayer); 3. Hans I Schmidmayer (d. 1476) with the Perckmeister coat of arms (for Barbara Perckmeister), Eisenwanger, and Lochner coats of arms. 4. Endres Schmidmayer (d. 1511), who remained unmarried, with a blank escutcheon; 5. Hans III. Schmidmayer (d. 1514) with an ornamented escutcheon (originally Letscher for Magdalena, née Letscher); 6. Wilhelm Schmidmayer (d. 1546) with the escutcheons Fütterer (for Felizitas Fütterer) and Welser (for Barbara Welser). The escutcheons for Wilhelm Schmidmayer were added later, as he married Felizitas Fütterer only in 1513 and Barbara Welser in 1531. Ursula Schmidmayer, married to Sebastian Marb, Wilhelm, Endres, and Hans III. Schmidmayer were children of Hans Schmidmayer II, who was himself a son of Hans I. Schmidmayer and Barbara, née Perckmeister. Wilhelm Schmidmayer's escutcheons were added later, as he married Felizitas Fütterer only in 1513 and Barbara Welser in 1531. On the east wall of the Schmidmayer Chapel, which also houses the stained glass windows, hangs a memorial portrait of Hans I. Schmidmayer (d. 1476), depicted with his three wives and children. The main scene of the painting, restored in 1606, shows the Adoration of the Magi, based on two woodcuts by Dürer on the same subject. One was a single sheet dated 1511, the other part of the Life of the Virgin, also published in 1511.

Ursula Schmidmayer, married to Sebastian Marb, Wilhelm, Endres, and Hans III. Schmidmayer were children of Hans Schmidmayer II, who was himself a son of Hans I. Schmidmayer and Barbara, née Perckmeister. Wilhelm Schmidmayer's escutcheons were added later, as he married Felizitas Fütterer only in 1513 and Barbara Welser in 1531. On the east wall of the Schmidmayer Chapel, which also houses the stained glass windows, hangs a memorial portrait of Hans I. Schmidmayer (d. 1476), depicted with his three wives and children. The main scene of the painting, restored in 1606, shows the Adoration of the Magi, based on two woodcuts by Dürer on the same subject. One was a single sheet dated 1511, the other part of the Life of the Virgin, also published in 1511.

1509

Coat of arms of Hans II Schmidmayer with the Franck subsidiary coat of arms, and of Sebastian Marb with the Schmidmayer subsidiary coat of arms (for Ursula, née Schmidmayer).


1.834The stained-glass windows were conceived from the outset as partially encased in clear glass to bring more light into the chapel. Some of the designs were based on those of Dürer, with the collaboration of Hans von Kulmbach. The upper register depicts the legend of St. Lawrence, the lower register a series of coats of arms from the Hirsvogel workshop. The coats of arms, from left to right, are: 1. Hans II Schmidmayer (d. 1499) with the Franck coat of arms (for Elisabeth, née Franck, d. 1509); 2. Sebastian Marb (d. 1509) with the Schmidmayer coat of arms (for Ursula, née Schmidmayer); 3. Hans I Schmidmayer (d. 1476) with the Perckmeister coat of arms (for Barbara Perckmeister), Eisenwanger, and Lochner coats of arms. 4. Endres Schmidmayer (d. 1511), who remained unmarried, with a blank escutcheon; 5. Hans III. Schmidmayer (d. 1514) with an ornamented escutcheon (originally Letscher for Magdalena, née Letscher); 6. Wilhelm Schmidmayer (d. 1546) with the escutcheons Fütterer (for Felizitas Fütterer) and Welser (for Barbara Welser).
