Stained Glass Tours in Germany, Austria and the Rhine Lands is a detailed exploration of the vibrant history and artistic achievement of stained glass throughout Central Europe. Charles Hitchcock Sherrill provides an expertly guided tour through the cathedrals, monasteries, and municipal buildings of Germany, Austria, and the regions bordering the Rhine, offering a deep dive into the evolution of glazing techniques from the thirteenth century through the Renaissance.

The work organizes its travel routes by historical periods, enabling readers to appreciate the transition from the rich, deep tones of the Early Gothic period to the refined detail and perspective found in later Renaissance masterpieces. Sherrill's narrative highlights the architectural context of the glass, visiting significant sites in cities such as Cologne, Nuremberg, and Munich. Each chapter focuses on identifying specific windows of exceptional beauty, explaining their biblical or heraldic symbolism and the cultural climate that birthed them.
