25 windows of St John's Church in Salzhausen were damaged by vandals at the beginning of January. Unknown persons had smashed the windows with fist-sized rocks and caused damage of 42,000 euros.
The stained glass windows depict the birth and baptism of Christ and the Good Shepherd. The colourful works are part of a renowned art-historical collection of stained glass created by Crodel in the 1950s and 1960s. Thanks to donations from the community, the 25 damaged windows have been restored to their former glory.
