Summary edit

Description
English: The left-hand (eastern) stained glass window in the University Chapel of the choir at the Freiburg Minster dates to 1524-27, according to accounting documents. The pictorial theme relates to the university, which was founded in 1457 and arranged for its own chapel at the minster, in part as a burial site for professors, and set the design. Although the artist is unknown, art historians have pointed to the influence of Augsburg woodcuts produced in the circle around Hans Burgkmair. In 1876, the panes were washed off and newly painted by Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909).
On the left, the 12-year-old Jesus is depicted teaching in the temple before rabbis (Luke 2:41-52). He sits on a throne before a background of pink Renaissance-era architecture. On the right, Mary and Joseph approach with a bearded rabbi. The seated man dressed in green with a violet beret was identified by Fritz Geiges as Archduke Albert VI, the founder of the university. In the arches above the images, angels hold the coat of arms with the imperial double-headed eagle. The coats of arms of the Austrian lands appear at the beginnings of the arches.
Deutsch: Das linke (östliche) Fenster der Universitätskapelle im Hochchor des Freiburger Münsters wurde nach Rechnungsbelegen in den Jahren 1524/27 ausgeführt. Das Thema bezieht sich auf die Universität, die 1457 gegründet wurde und eine eigene Kapelle im Münster einrichtete, zum Teil als Grabstätte für Professoren. Die Universität bestimmte auch den Entwurf. Obwohl der Künstler unbekannt ist, haben Kunsthistoriker auf den Einfluss von Augsburger Holzschnitten aus dem Kreis um Hans Burgkmair d. Ä. hingewiesen. 1876 wurden die Scheiben von Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909) abgewaschen und neu bemalt.
Auf der linken Seite lehrt der zwölfjährige Jesus im Tempel vor den Rabbinern (Luk 2, 41-52). Er sitzt auf einem Thron vor einem Hintergrund mit rosafarbener Renaissancearchitektur. Auf der rechten Seite treten Maria und Joseph mit einem bärtigen Rabbi hinzu. Der grün gekleidete Sitzende mit violettem Barett wurde von Fritz Geiges als Erzherzog Albrecht VI., der Universitätsgründer identifiziert. In den Bögen oberhalb der Bilder halten Engel das kaiserliche Wappen mit dem Doppeladler. Die Wappen der österreichischen Länder stehen an den Bogenansätzen.
