Summary[edit]

Description
English: The right-hand (western) window of the Schnewlin Chapel in the choir of the Freiburg Minster, strongly painted over in 1870-71 by Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909), dates to 1525. According to an inscription, it was financed by the Schnewlin Gresser Endowment in memory of the Freiburg patrician and mayor Johannes Schnewlin, who died in 1347. The artistic and religious theme of the window is St. John the Baptist, Schnewlin's name patron. The window's formal similarity to that of the University Chapel suggests that they were likely designed by the Hans Burgkmair circle.

Schnewlin is depicted to the right, garbed in the colors of his family coat of arms, visible to the left, and kneeling before the towering figure of John the Baptist, who is wearing a red mantle over his fur coat. John points with his right hand to the Lamb with the cross flag, which reposes on a book held by his left hand. When John recognized Jesus as the messiah and termed him the lamb of God: "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

The decapitation of the martyr is depicted on the left-hand side, with John kneeling before a tower. The two scenes are set in a shared with a mountainous landscape and a deep blue sky beneath Renaissance arches with light-colored ornaments.
Deutsch: Das rechte (westliche) Fenster der Schnewlin-Kapelle im Hochchor des Freiburger Münsters wurden 1525 angefertigt und 1870/71 von Heinrich Helmle (1829-1909) stark übermalt. Laut einer Inschrift wurden sie von der Schnewlin Gresser Stiftung finanziert, die den Nachlass des Freiburger Patriziers und Bürgermeisters Johannes Schnewlin (†1347) verwaltete. Das künstlerische und religiöse Thema der Fenster ist Johannes der Täufer, Schnewlins Namenspatron. Ihre formale Ähnlichkeit mit den Fenstern der Universitätskapelle legt den Schluss nahe, dass sie im Kreise um Hans Burgkmair entstanden sind.

Rechts kniet Schnewlin vor Johannes dem Täufer, der einen roten Mantel über seinem Fellgewand trägt, während Schnewlin in den Farben seines Familienwappens gekleidet ist, das links zu sehen ist. Mit der rechten Hand weist Johannes auf das Lamm Gottes mit Kreuzfahne hin, das er auf einem Buch in seiner linken hält. Als Johannes Jesus als Messias erkannte, gab er ihm den Namen "Lamm Gottes": "Des andern Tages sieht Johannes Jesum zu ihm kommen und spricht: Siehe, das ist Gottes Lamm, welches der Welt Sünde trägt!" (Joh 1, 29)

Die Enthauptung des Märtyrers ist links abgebildet, Johannes vor einem Turm knieend. Die beiden Bilder sind in einem einheitlichen Hintergrund eingebettet vor einer Gebirgslandschaft unter tiefblauem Himmel, von Renaissancebögen mit hellen Ornamenten überdeckt.
