History

Research

Glasmalereizyklus in zeichenhaft-abstraktem Stil von Ferdinand Gehr, geschaffen im Zuge des Kirchenumbaus und der Renovation von 1962–1964. Die neun Fenster im Kirchenschiff entwarf Gehr in Anlehnung an musikalische Messkompositionen. Im Chor zudem ein abstraktes Ornamentfenster sowie das Fenster des Kirchenpatrons. Der heilige Alexander gilt als fünfter Nachfolger des Apostels Petrus und war von ca. 105 bis 115 Bischof von Rom und damit Papst der Gesamtkirche.
