COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Lüneburg Town Hall conserves one of the very few examples of monumental stained glass with secular subject matter. The "Nine Worthies," who include Charlemagne and King Arthur, were considered in the late Middle Ages as models of good government and were therefore often depicted in town halls.
