Crucifixion Window (Kyllburg)
The crucifixion window in the former collegiate church and today's parish church in Kyllburg , a town in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate , was commissioned by the Kyllburg canons Bernhardus and Jakob , like the other lead glass windows in the choir, in 1533/34 .
In the middle choir window with the depiction of the crucifixion of Christ , Mary Magdalene kneels at the foot of the cross . Angels catch the blood of Christ with goblets. In the quatrefoil the Lamb of God and below it the Holy Trinity in the type of the mercy seat are shown. Angels wearing cloaks can be seen on the sides.
In the lower right field, the founder Bernardus kneels in front of Mary, who occupies the lower left field with the baby Jesus . The apostle Matthias stands behind Bernardus .
The inscription reads: "DOMINUS BERNARDUS KILBURGENSIS DECANUS RURALIS ET [HUIUS] ECCLESIAE DOMINAE VIRGINIS MARIAE IN KILBURG ANNO 1533".
