An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Hezilo chandelier (German: Heziloleuchter) is an 11th-century Romanesque wheel chandelier. It is part of the treasures of the Hildesheim Cathedral in Hildesheim, Germany, which has been a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site since 1985. The chandelier was most likely commissioned by Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim, who rebuilt the cathedral after a fire. He probably also influenced the program of imagery and inscriptions. It is the largest of four extant wheel chandeliers of the period; the others surviving examples are the Azelin chandelier (also in Hildesheim), the Barbarossa chandelier in the Aachen Cathedral, and the Hartwig chandelier in the Abbey of Comburg.

  • Der Heziloleuchter ist eine romanische Leuchterkrone im Hildesheimer Dom. Er wurde von Bischof Hezilo (1054–1079) gestiftet. Von Hezilo stammt vermutlich auch das Bild- und Inschriftenprogramm. Aus romanischer Zeit sind in Deutschland nur drei weitere Radleuchter erhalten: Der etwas ältere Thietmarleuchter (auch Azelinleuchter genannt), welcher ebenfalls im Hildesheimer Dom hängt, der Barbarossaleuchter im Aachener Dom und der Hartwigleuchter in der Comburger Klosterkirche. Unter ihnen ist der Heziloleuchter der größte. Während der Sanierung des Hildesheimer Doms 2010–2014 hing der Leuchter in der Basilika St. Godehard zu Hildesheim. Seit der Renovierung ist sein Platz im Langhaus in einer Axiallinie mit der Bernwardstür, dem Bronzetaufbecken, dem Thietmarleuchter und der Irminsula, der mit einem modernen Chorkristallkreuz bekrönten Säule in der Hauptapsis.

During the restoration of the cathedral (from 2010 to 2014), the chandelier was installed in St. Godehard, a basilica since 1963 and the temporary bishop's seat. After the restoration of the cathedral, reopened on 15 August 2014, it was returned to its original location in the cathedral's nave. (en)

  • Il lampadario Hezilo è un lampadario romanico nella cattedrale di Hildesheim. Fu donato dal vescovo Hezilo (1054-1079). Anche il programma di immagini e iscrizioni proveniva presumibilmente da Hezilo. Solo altri tre lampadari a ruota del periodo romanico sono sopravvissuti in Germania: il lampadario Thietmar, poco più antico, che si trova nella stessa cattedrale di Hildesheim, il lampadario Barbarossa nella cattedrale di Aquisgrana e il lampadario Hartwig nella chiesa del monastero di Comburg. Il lampadario Hezilo è il più grande del gruppo. Durante i lavori di ristrutturazione della cattedrale di Hildesheim del 2010-2014, il candelabro è stato appeso nella basilica di San Godehard a Hildesheim. In seguito alla ristrutturazione, è stato ricollocato al centro dell'aula, in linea assiale con la porta Bernward, il fonte battesimale in bronzo, il lampadario Thietmar e l'Irminsul, la colonna nell'abside principale coronata da una moderna croce di cristallo del coro.
