COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Wiesenkirche is an extraordinarily slim parish church built in green stone. Its construction started in 1331. The ribs of the vaultA roof or ceiling whose structure is based on the arch. There are a wide range of forms, including the barrel (or tunnel) vault, formed by a continuous semi-circular arch; the groin vault, formed when two barrel vaults intersect; and the rib vault, consistong of a framework of diagonal ribs supporting interlocking arches. The development of the various forms was of great structural and aesthetic importance in the development of church architecture during the Middle Ages. emerge from the piers without the interruption of capitals, and the core of the piers is hollow, which means that they can carry a much greater load. In spite of its marked east-west orientation, and its culmination in a kaleidoscopic apseA semicircular projection, roofed with a half-dome, at the east end of a church behind the altar. Smaller subsidiary apses may be found around the choir or transepts. Also known as an exedra. The adjective is apsidal., the interior creates a single, completely unified space, largely because of the wide spaces between the piers and the slimness of the columns.
The photo shows the choirthe part of a church interior, usually raised and set apart from the rest of the church, reserved for the clergy to pray together, or for choral singing. Since Carolingian times, "choir" has been the word for the part of the central nave of the church extending over the crossing (the place where nave and transept intersect), and including the apse (a niche in the wall, roofed with a half dome) that often stands at the end of this area..
