Excerpt from German Achievements in America: A Tribute to the Memory of the Men and Women, Who Worked, Fought and Died for the Welfare of This Country; And a Recognition of the Living Who With Equal Enterprise, Genius and Patriotism Helped in the Making of Our United States While thus the rulers and magistrates beautified all public buildings and squares, the burghers did their best to complete the picture. The innate sense for art accomplished wonders in many cities of Germany. Loving their homes, the citizens adorned the front of their houses with carvings and allegorical paintings. 'even such inconspicuous objects as weather-vanes and door-knockers became in the hands of skilled craftsmen specimens of genuine art. However, these efforts to beautify the exterior of the houses, were not accomplished to the neglect of the interior. Wealthy families took pride in artistic furniture, beautiful carpets, precious objects of crystal and silver, and in paintings and etchings of famous masters. This period of prosperity and culture was also a time of great ecclesiastic architecture. Especially the architects of the 1 1th, 12th and 13th centuries created cathedrals, which in bold construction and sublime beauty surpass everything hitherto and since accomplished. The cathedrals of Worms, Speyer, Mayence, Frankfort on the Main, Ulm, Strassburg, Cologne and other cities rank among the greatest master pieces of Romanic and Gothic art.
