The black-and-white image depicts the view through the wide-open door of a study room, reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The door opens to reveal a room with a floor made of large natural stones. The walls are plastered. In the room's right corner, there is a chair, and in front of it, a reading bench where one can also kneel. On the reading bench's surface lies a thick book, open and ready for reading. On the wall opposite the door, there is a long window situated in a niche. Daylight streams through the window, which is adorned with a lattice of diamond shapes.

Could a medieval study room have looked like this?

The image depicts a wall constructed from large natural stones, reminiscent of a medieval fortress or castle wall. It is the wall of the monastic complex surrounding the Neuwerk Church in Goslar. The Romanesque church was built around 1200, and the Neuwerk Monastery itself was founded in 1186. In the foreground, a part of a spindle tree (or burning bush) extends into the image from the left, with its autumnal red leaves standing out vividly against the wall.

Originally, “Euonymus alatus” comes from East Asia, but it adapts well to the European climate. This one shines brightly next to the #Neuwerkkirche in #Goslar.

As soon as one steps through the #monastery gate from the bustling street, they find themselves in another world. Close-up of a wooden fence. At the bottom of the image, the corresponding horizontal crossbar runs across. Three fence elements are visible, with their top ends cut into triangular shapes. The fence is in focus of the lens, while the church with its Romanesque window situated behind the fence is in a blurred area.

Romanische Architektur kombiniert mit byzantinischen Wandmalereien aus dem ersten Drittel des 13. Jahrhunderts: 🤩 Original in Reinkultur und nicht irgendwann rekonstruiert. Die #Neuwerkkirche in #Goslar. Ihr früherer Name spricht mich an: Maria im Rosengarten
