Background
The glass window “Die Auferstehung des Fleisches” (The resurrection of the flesh) by Leo Steck (1936) is in the funeral hall of the Schosshalden cemetery, Ostermundigenstrasse 116, Bern. Leo Steck (1883–1960) was a painter, glass painter and writer who died in Bern. From 1926, after converting to Catholicism, he concentrated mainly on religious subjects. Steck made around 125 glass windows for churches in and around Bern. The Schosshalden cemetery opened in 1877 and lies on the boundary with the municipality of Ostermundigen. No further details on the making of this window are documented yet.
