Description
The four window panels each show a saint. From left to right, these are two deacons, St. Stephen and St. Lawrence, and two bishops, St. Martin and St. Claudius. The central zone of figures also has a symbolic content: two girls stand in pairs behind the saints. They symbolise the three theological virtues of faith, hope and love and the four cardinal virtues of prudence, mightiness, strength, justice and science. At knee height, a motto characterises each of the saints. In addition, Martin and Claudius have an explanatory figure from the legend of the saints: the beggar and the child respectively.

Object history Jósef Mehoffer designed the depiction of the holy bishops and deacons in the years 1898 - 1900. Mehoffer's design on a scale of 1:1 was executed by the Kirsch & Fleckner workshop in Freiburg, which specialised in stained glass, and installed in the rearmost side chapel of the north side of the cathedral in 1917.
