High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sondergotik (German for "special Gothic") is the style of Late Gothic architecture prevalent in Austria, Bavaria, and Bohemia between 1350 and 1550. The term was invented by art historian Kurt Gerstenberg in his 1913 work Deutsche Sondergotik, in which he argued that the Late Gothic had a special expression in Germany (especially the South and the Rhineland) marked by the use of the hall church or Hallenkirche. At the same time the style forms part of the International Gothic style in its origins.
