The detail shows St Stephen, not as usual at the stoning, but while he is vehemently defending his faith. Behind him are the two girls who embody the virtues of hope and justice. At knee height, the motto PLENUS GRATIA ET FORTITUDINE (Full of Grace and Strength) characterises St Stephen

Józef Mehoffer created the designs between 1898 and 1900. After the final design, the Kirsch & Fleckner studio in Freiburg, which specialised in stained glass, created the stained glass windows. They were installed in the side chapel of the cathedral in Freiburg in 1917
