Choir window
Wilhelm Buschulte from 1958. The three central windows show themes from the Secret Revelation of John: in the middle, the “New Jerusalem” with the “Throne of the Lamb”, on the right the armies on the white horses, on the left the destruction of Babylon, the “Mother of all atrocities ”. The outer northern choir window shows Jacob's dream of the ladder to heaven, an image of God's closeness and willingness to help.
Left to Right:
Revelation of John: The destruction of Babylon.
Revelation of John: The heavenly Jerusalem.
Revelation of John: The logo with the hosts on white steeds.

Windows in the choir,

Wilhelm Buschulte (1923-2013).
From 1943 to 1950 - with wartime interruptions - Buschulte studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . He was a master student of Hans Gött . Since 1953 Buschulte lived freelance in Unna.
Round window in the Bielefeld Holy Ghost Church Buschulte turned from 1951 to artistic window dressing. It accounts for the center of his work and his real life's work, at least the accessible sight to a wider audience. In the 1950s and 1960s he also designed curtains discs with religious representations in a internalized, almost naive style. Set to any artistic technique applies Buschultes endeavor of unity and harmony of (church) space and window design, as in their "clear simplicity" (Buschulte) well in the window design of St. Paul Church is most impressive to see. Biblical themes can be found as well as topics from the Catholic Sacred Tradition, abstract design like his in the 1990s clearly recognizable effort to simplest (geometric) forms, which therefore is increasingly becoming a painting on glass as a painting with glass.
In his late work he relies more and more organic shapes and bright colors (except windows in Paderborn Cathedral ) in favor of geometric patterns made of clear glass and gray. In all his designs but the artistic endeavor is visible to be the church subservient waiving any superficially illustrative effect and precisely thus participate in the task of proclaiming. "His monumental glazing are abstract, but show partially figurative echoes and enclose sometimes - especially in the 1980s - symbolically organic forms."
Besides participating in exhibitions at home and abroad, he also staged their own exhibitions. Works by him are in museums at home and abroad. The amount of the stained glass windows designed by him is hard to miss.
