Brick Renaissance

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Brick Renaissance is the

stepped gables. A clearer distinction only developed at the transition to Baroque architecture. In Lübeck, for example, Brick Renaissance is clearly recognisable in buildings equipped with terracotta reliefs by the artist Statius von Düren, who was also active at Schwerin (Schwerin Castle) and Wismar
(Fürstenhof).

More clearly recognisable as Renaissance are brick buildings strongly influenced by the

Dutch Renaissance style, such as Reinbek Castle at Reinbek near Hamburg, the Zeughaus at Lübeck, or Friedrichstadt in Schleswig-Holstein
