Die Klosterkirche Corvey
Bauuntersuchung und Baugeschichte des Westbaus. Teil 2
As the oldest architectural monument in Westphalia-Lippe, the Carolingian west wing of the Church of St. Stephen and St. Vitus at the former Corvey Abbey is of outstanding importance for the historical identity of the region. The Benedictine Abbey of Corvey, built on the west bank of the Weser River, was one of the most important cultural and economic centres between the North Sea and southern Germany and engaged in lively intellectual and cultural exchange with other early medieval centres of learning in Europe. In this volume, Kristina Krüger has succeeded in producing a comprehensive documentation of the eventful architectural history of the west building, from its Carolingian beginnings in the 9th century through high medieval alterations to modern interventions and extensions.
