Johannes Von Gmünd
Johannes von Gmünd, born in the years 1320–30, probably in Schwäbisch Gmünd, and died after 1359, is a German Gothic architect and construction foreman who probably belonged to the Parler family. He probably is the eldest son of Heinrich ParlerArtikel „Parler“ von Alfred Klemm in: Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, herausgegeben von der Historischen Kommission bei der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Band 25 (1887), S. 177–182, Digitale Volltext-Ausgabe in Wikisource, URL: https://de.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=ADB:Parler&oldid=- (Version vom 22.

In 1354, Johannes von Gmünd worked on the construction of the choir of the cathedral of Freiburg; in 1359 he was hired for life on the site as a "citizen of Freiburg".

Apsis Basel Muenster 2008 006
An apsis (; ) is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body. For example, the apsides of the Earth are called the aphelion and perihelion. General description There are two apsides in any elliptic orbit. The name for each apsis is created from the prefixes ''ap-'', ''apo-'' (), or ''peri-'' (), each referring to the farthest and closest point to the primary body the affixing necessary suffix that describes the primary body in the orbit. In this case, the suffix for Earth is ''-gee'', so the apsides' names are ''apogee'' and ''perigee''. For the Sun, its suffix is ''-helion'', so the names are ''aphelion'' and ''perihelion''. According to Newton's laws of motion, all periodic orbits are ellipses. The barycenter of the two bodies may lie well within the bigger body—e.g., the Earth–Moon barycenter is about 75% of the way from Earth's center to its surface. If, compared to the larger mass, the smaller mass is negligible (e.g., f ...
