History of architecture
As already mentioned on my homepage, one of my favorite themes has always been the history
of architecture. Since I've had enough time recently to get back to
focus on my job and my love for architectural history, I started making videos
and to upload them to YouTube. Here you always will find a current selection of them.

that this topic is even larger, so the title of this video is: "Ways and spaces of the Baroque"
and it describes the ways in which the baroque came from Rome to Central Europe!

Not exclusively applicable to Baroque churches, but very useful for studying them, this short video
with explanations of the most important dome constructions. Also and especially with regard to
a new, planned video with the theme of baroque architecture in southern Germany!
