    History

    Research

    Am Wettbewerb für die Glasfenster der Johanneskirche nahmen Gian Casty, Alfred Kobel und Max Hellstern teil. Ihr Auftrag war es, Entwürfe zu Themen aus den Schriften des Apostels Johannes auszuarbeiten. Die Jury, bestehend aus den Architekten Benedikt Huber und Max Vogt sowie Pfarrer Walther Rüegg, entschied sich für Castys Entwürfe zu Passagen aus der Offenbarung Johannes. Das 7 Sterne-Fenster bezieht sich auf Kap. 2, 1.
