About the Book

This book seeks to offer a detailed survey of the Romanesque Architectural style preserved in Central Europe. It traces developments of the style from earliest examples of the post-Carolingian period to the height of sophistication during the transition to Gothic. It begins with a survey of the remains and reconstructions of the palaces of the mighty. It then offers a selection of castles, both as ruins or restored facilities as they can be found in Germany, Austria and Alsace. Where possible the emphasis rests on seeking out the artistic ornamentation with which the builders enhanced the structures. The major part of the book deals with church architecture, where the structures are discussed as monumental statements of the faith with consideration given to their embellishments on towers and facades, friezes and apses, portals and colonnades, columns and capitals, screens, reliefs, fonts and statuary, wall painting and stained glass. Inescapable is the conclusion that these fortresses of God are sermons in stone in which the worshipper finds himself within the Imperium Christianum.
About the Author: Herbert Schutz is Professor Emeritus at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. During his career he studied and photographed the many extraordinary architectural monuments in Central Europe to present them to his classes in Canada, as well as to foreign students in his courses in German Cultural History at the International Summer Programme while he was Visiting Professor at the University of Freiburg in Germany. He holds the view that throughout history Central Europe represents a cultural region which deserves much greater attention than has been devoted to it. His major publications are: - The Prehistory of Germanic Europe (Yale UP, New Haven and London 1983) - The Romans in Central Europe (Yale UP, New Haven and London 1985) - The Germanic Realms in Central Europe, 400-750 (Lang, New York, Bern, Frankfurt am Main 2000) - Tools, Weapons and Ornaments. Germanic Material Culture in Pre-Carolingian Central Europe (Brill, Leiden, Boston, Koln 2001) - The Carolingians in Central Europe. Their History, Arts and Architecture. A Cultural History of Central Europe, 750-900 (Brill, Leiden 2004) - The Medieval Empire in Central Europe. Dynastic Continuity in the Post-Carolingian Frankish Realm, 900-1300 (Cambridge Scholars Press, Newcastle Upon Tyne 2010) - Mystical Women and Lyric Poets in Medieval Society. The Literary Culture in Central Europe during the Romanesque Period, 900-1300 (Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier 2010)
