Wednesday, September 30 and November 25, 2026, 2:30 p.m. each day
Meeting point: Rüdengasse 2, entrance to the former main post office
In the 20th century, sacred glass painting developed into a medium in which Christian iconography meets stylistic innovation and technical innovation. Formal experiments and the effect of light increasingly came to the fore. Basel Minster was also affected by this development: In the mid-20th century, the renovation of the choir windows triggered a discussion about historical continuity and contemporary expression. The walk through Basel's old town highlights this development and illustrates it with examples from the secular world.
Guided tour: Daniel Lachenmeier, certified illustrator FH and City Guide
Meeting point: Rüdengasse 2, entrance to the former main post office
End point: Office for Economy and Labor, Utengasse 36
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: CHF 10.-/7.-
