Töurcher en Kölle un drömeröm: "Zwei auf einen Streich: Sankt Gereon und Sankt Andreas"

In the organizer's words:

Two at one go: St. Gereon and St. Andrew's

St. Gereon and St. Andrew's have beautiful windows by modern artists. Anyone who visits these churches in bright sunshine will be overwhelmed by an intensity of color that can also be found in the important French cathedrals of Metz, Reims or Paris. To get closer to Georg Meistermann's art, we climb to the first floor of the Dekagon in St. Gereon. This is when it becomes clear that the sacred building was built on Roman walls. The master student of Joseph Beuys underwent a true metamorphosis with the windows in St. Gereon. Meistermann was an avant-gardist when it came to glass windows and lived in Cologne for decades. Markus Lüpertz, one of the most important German artists, was asked to design the windows in St. Andrew's. He is just as provocative as Meistermann. He is just as provocative as Meistermann was and sees tradition as material for reinterpretation.

This Cologne tour is absolutely exclusive because it tells art history in Cologne.
