      abstract     = {Against the background of the so-called "Kulturkampf", many
                      gothic buildings in Germany were restored or supplemented.
                      The Aachen Cathedral provided an exellent possibility for
                      restoring it in a gothic manner: More than 90
                      stone-sculptures were fixed at the front of 4 gothic parts
                      of the Cathedral. They were created in Gottfried Götting´s
                      sculpture-studio in Aachen over a period of 10 years
                      (1864-1874). The work-process was observed strictly by the
                      Aachen Cathedral-chapter and the Archibishopric in Cologne.
                      In competition with these two institutions was the Aachen
                      Cathedral Association, the so called "Karlsverein". The
                      sculptures´ heights range from 39 cm to 260 cm. The vast
                      majority of them is made of french limestone, called
                      Savonnière, and only few consist of sandstone from
                      Udelfang. Apart from one chapel, the sculptures of the other
                      building-parts are concerned with the overall theme of
                      displaying praise to the Virgin Mary. Pictures and
                      sculptures of the regional tradition, referred to as
                      "International Style" served as ideal patterns which
                      Götting used for his sketches and models. The study in
                      question reveals and emphasises the extraordinary making and
                      style of the Aachen sculptures as opposed to those of the
                      Cologne Cathedral. Although the Cologne statues can be
                      viewed as ideals, because the city was the centre of
                      neo-gothic art, there are some crucial differences between
                      them and the Aachen sculptures. Göttings sculptures are
                      more refined and more graceful, they are not influenced as
                      much by the "Kulturkampf" but present a wide range of human
                      qualities and Christian values. In contrast, the heavy and
                      monumental Cologne statues evoke a different impression:
                      Their expression seems to be limited to pathos and
                      magnitude, which stress the Catholic Church´s pretensions
                      of power and importance. The cologne statues are more
                      obviously influenced by political issues. They depict rather
                      impersonal and monumental aspects. The extraordinary quality
                      of the Aachen sculptures is that they provide the recipient
                      with the possibility of identifying with them. The study
                      provides an important basis for further research on the
                      neo-gothic tradition in Aachen, because it presents a
                      detailed account of the major work of Aachen´s leading
                      neo-gothic sculpture-studio. Götting´s estate is now to be
                      found in Waldfeucht/ Heinsberg as private property. Its
                      publication would help to develop the study´s main ideas
                      and would add greater preciseness to the presented
                      conclusions. Kulturkampf = struggle for power between public
                      authority and the Catholic church in the 19. century.},
