Windows of Görres in the Cathedral of Cologne
The importance of Joseph Görres (1776-1848), the eponym of the Görres Society, for the self-confidence of Rhenish Catholicism vis-à-vis the French and Prussians can be seen in the completion of Cologne Cathedral in the middle of the 19th century. No wonder, then, that the cathedral also has a Görres window (right aisle). On the website of Cologne Cathedral there are brilliant illustrations including historical explanations.
