  • Stone Setting Practiced by the Masons of the Naumburg and Meissen Cathedrals— a Comparative Look at Stone Setting Techniques1
    Stone Setting Practiced by the Masons of the Naumburg and Meissen Cathedrals— a Comparative Look at Stone Setting Techniques1 Katja Schröck If one aims to take a closer look at a medieval building site, it is inevitable to pay careful attention to the traces that were left on the stones set and built. This article presents a detailed study of the stone setting techniques applied during the construction of the Naumburg west choir and a comparison with the techniques applied by the masons who built Meissen Cathedral. The question of how building stones were moved to their final positions is of particular relevance, specifically as the solution of the logistic and technical challenges, which were connected with it, and the available machines were of major importance for the realisation of a construction project of this dimension. For this reason it is necessary to clarify the details of the various setting techniques that were used on the building site. The basic categories here are vertical transport and horizontal transport. It was above all the physical power of the workers that was decisive for the horizontal movement not only of the stones but also of all other building materials across the building site, using e.g. barrows or baskets. What is even more interesting is the vertical movement of the stones since it was far more complex in terms of organisation and the available technology. It was only by vertical movement that the building stones were hoisted into place. Tools were used to move the stones, e.g. so-called lifting gears and fastening means.
