• Resumen

  • The article discusses the social, political, and symbolic intent of sacral buildings designed and constructed during the reign of Ruprecht I, the Elector Palatine, and his wife, Elisabeth of Namur, in the 14th century. It focuses on the architectural design of the Franciscan monastery and the Heiliggeistkirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) in Heidelberg, Germany, and especially that of the Saint-Chapelle in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany. The authors consider the representation of medieval concepts of temporal rule and Ruprecht's claims to princely authority in the monastery and the churches, linking and comparing them to the symbolism of medieval French church architecture.
