Summary

Description
English: Art historian Dr. Bernd Schälicke views the bronze pine cone in the narthex of the cathedral at Aachen. This bronze sculpture may have been brought to Aachen from Italy at the time of Charlemagne, or it may have been cast in Germany as late as ca. 1000. It was inspired by the pine cone that once stood in the courtyard of Old St. Peter's Basilica and is now in the Cortile della pigna of the Vatican Museums.
Deutsch: Kunsthistoriker Dr. Bernd Schälicke betrachtet den Bronzepinienzapfen im Eingangsbereich des Aachener Domes. Möglicherweise kam das Bronzebildwerk zur Zeit Karls des Großen aus Italien nach Aachen, es kann aber auch in Deutschland bis 1000 gegossen worden sein. Vorbild war wohl der Pinienzapfen im Hof des Alten St. Peter, der nunmehr in der Cortile della pigna der Vatikanischen Museen steht.
