For Western churches, the pews are a constitutive component. Nevertheless, it has so far received little attention in its entirety and its importance. Here, for the first time, an overview of the development of church stalls from Christian antiquity to the present is offered. Important theses are that congregational pews already existed in the early Christian churches and that originally, up to the present day, they were not used for convenience, but rather to maintain proper order.
Fur abendlandische Kirchen ist das Gestuhl ein konstitutiver Bestandteil. Dennoch fand es in seiner Gesamtheit und seiner Bedeutung entsprechend bisher kaum eine entsprechende Berucksichtigung. Hier wird erstmals ein Uberblick uber die Entwicklung des Kirchengestuhls von der christlichen Antike bis in die Gegenwart geboten. Wichtige Thesen sind, dass es Gemeindegestuhl bereits in den fruhchristlichen Kirchen gegeben hat, und dass es ursprunglich bis an den Rand der Gegenwart nicht der Bequemlichkeit diente, sondern der Aufrechterhaltung einer geziemenden Ordnung.
