You are viewing the photo of a stained glass window, donated in 1640 to the church in Hilterfingen, Switzerland by Hans Baur and Ulrich Frutiger. The church in Hilterfingen also served the town of nearby Oberhofen where Hans lived.

In its main, middle part, the window represents the Marriage of Canaan, and in its upper part the Massacre of the Innocents at Bethlehem. The artist obviously made a mistake, as far as the texts are concerned, because they refer to the worship of the Wise Men of the East. At the foot of the window, the donors are mentioned: "Ulrich Frütiger der Zytt Stift Schaffner und Hanns Bur beid zu Oberhoffen. Anno 1640." In the lower corners are the armorial bearings of the two donors.

Hans Baur was great-uncle of Hans Bauer, who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Oberhofen, Switzerland in 1711. Ulrich Frutiger was administrator of the possessions of the former monastery and of the ecclesiastical properties.

The photo was probably taken in 1951 and cuts off a little of the top of the window. This medieval artifact is now kept at the Historical Museum in Bern.
