Recenze Das Kirchengestühl im Wandel der Zeit

Here, for the first time, an overview of the development of church stalls from Christian antiquity to the present is offered. Important theses are that congregational pews already existed in the early Christian churches and that originally, up to the present day, they were not used for convenience, but rather to maintain proper order.
