Concept drawing for the spire of Frankfurt cathedral from around 1415

This is a scan of the original draft for the spire of Saint Bartholomeus's Cathedral in Frankfurt on the Main by work master Madern Gerthener from around 1415. Although there were alternate concepts to finish the spire, Gerthener's sucessor Hans Fluecke von Ingelheim based his final draft from around 1480 on Gertheners concept. Since the spire was completed after it in the 1860s, Gerthener and his draft as depicted here are considered the intellectual fathers of the spire as of today. --Mylius (talk) 12:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
