Research and Conservation of Murals in Lutheran Churches of Mediaş Archdeaconry

Summary/Abstract: The study presents a five years old project, which initially included churches of Mediaş archdeaconry, later included Lutheran churches of the other administrative areas too. The project takes aim the research of murals of the denominated area. We would like to stress cause these churches are containing murals with the same artistic value than architectural or like the winged altars, although they are unknown to the specialists too (with some exceptions: Mălâncrav – Malmkrog, Church on the Hill from Sighişoara – Schässburg). The main proposal of the project was the localization and delimitation of the murals. To the present was made the research of 38 Lutheran churches, and a great number of murals discovered. A good example is the mural of the Lutheran church of Ighişul Nou (Eibesdorf ), which painter has worked in the choir of the church of Mălâncrav too. At Ighişul Nou was discovered around 220 mp of mural, at Curciu (Kirtsch) around 70 mp, and at Şmig (Schmiegen) around 210 mp form the 15th Century. The results of the researches are published at the site www.monumenta.ro.
