Description

The stained glass window, created by Jósef Mehoffer during the First World War, depicts a patriotic scene across all four strips: A crowd of Confederates in late medieval dress stands around the Altar of the Fatherland, a column reminiscent of the figural fountains in the Old Town. On the pulpit-like projection of the column stand the allegorical figures of Libertas and Patria. In the foreground, the men raise their hands in the oath of allegiance. Two scenes from the life of the saint are depicted in the middle ground, separated by the column. On the left St. Nicholas is praying in the circle of his family and on the right he is depicted as a praying hermit. Above the heads of Libertas and Patria, the Alpha and Omega appear radiant white. A midnight blue sky closes the scene above and a frieze with ten coats of arms of confederate towns and the motto of St. Nicholas: LA PAIX ET TOUJOURS EN DIEU PARCE QUE DIEU EST LA PAIX.

St. Nicholas acted as a mediator in disputes. He was also called upon to mediate in internal national disputes. During the First World War he was held in greater esteem. Fribourg and Solothurn, which owe their admission to the Confederation to the saint, paid special homage to him, as they had done centuries earlier with the Samaritan Fountain.
