Johannesstraße
Stuttgart, March 2004

“The Protestant Church of St John (Johanneskirche) in Stuttgart was built in the Gothic Revival style from 1864 to 1876 by its chief architect, Christian Friedrich von Leins. It lies on a peninsula of the Feuersee (Fire Lake), while the main entrance and tower marks the beginning of the former Johannesstraße (St. John's Street). After being nearly destroyed in the Second World War, the main church building was reconstructed, but the Gothic vaults were replaced with modern ones and the tower was intentionally left incomplete to serve as a sort of war memorial.” (St. John's Church, Wikipedia)

Herrenberger Altar (Herrenberger Altarpiece) by Jerg Ratgeb, 1519
Staatsgalerie Stuttgart
Konrad-Adenauer-Straße
Stuttgart, March 2004

“The Herrenberg Altarpiece (German: Herrenberger Altar) is a winged altarpiece, that was created between 1518 and 1521 for the Brethren of the Common Life, a German Roman Catholic pietist community. It was built as a high altar for the collegiate church in Herrenberg in the state of Württemberg, now part of southwest Germany. Today the altarpiece, which has only survived in part, is in the possession of the Stuttgart State Gallery. The altarpiece bears a date of 1519. The eight panel images were painted by artist, Jerg Ratgeb (c. 1480–1526) who was executed during the German Peasants' War. The carved shrine, the front of the predella and the decorated carvings above the altarpiece have been lost.” (Herrenberger Altarpiece, Wikipedia)
