The Church of The Holy Spirit in HEIDELBERG : part 2

We should imagine the church at this time as very lavishly furnished adn painted. Several chapels adorned with magnificent altars were built on th the newly-constructed nave. And this church received a further precious treasure : Elector Ludwig III (1410-1436) decided to construct galleries in the nave for theunivesity's library. If we cast a glance upward we see the galleries which were installed for the "BIBLEIOTECA PALATINA", the "Palatine Library". Ludwig III arranged for his own library to be housed alongside books from an endowment, and so placed at the university's disposal.
