Stained glass windows by Alois Plum in St. Martin Church, Kaiserslautern.

Alois Johannes Plum (2 March 1935 at Mainz – 13 August 2024) was an artist working in Mainz, Germany, who has acquired a national reputation for his stained glass, his paintings (esp. murals), and his plastic art. Plum has been active since the 1950s and his work decorates hundreds of churches and public buildings in Germany. He has created many characteristic stained glass windows in churches renovated or rebuilt after the destruction of World War II, and is especially noted for his reinterpretation of historic sacred space[1] and his integration of glass and architecture with careful attention to the liturgical function of his art.[2]
