- Richter is the main author of this article and was responsible for writing large parts of it as well as for coordinating and finalising it with the other co-authors. He was also responsible for the following aspects of the research it presents:
1) leading the scientific analysis of the Eilenstedt choir screen;
2) undertaking substantial parts of the analysis himself (sample preparation, optical microscopy, fluorescent staining), and collaborating with the project’s other experts for its other parts (SEM-EDX, Raman microscopy);
3) completing the overall interpretation of the analytical results in cooperation with the project partners (mainly via cross-sectional analysis) to produce a final result for publication.
Richter was also responsible for dissemination of results from the research in cooperation with the Doerner Institut (Bavarian State Paintings Collection, Munich) e.g. via presentation of a poster at the conference Keep Colour – Keep Cool: Conservation and restoration of polychrome sculpture, Munich, 22-23 March 2019

- English abstract
- This chapter presents interdisciplinary research on newly-discovered fragments of the monumental polychrome choir screen in Eilenstedt (c. 1200). One of the most advanced investigations to date of Romanesque sculpture polychromy in German-speaking countries, this featured material-technical approaches (art historical enquiry combined with scientific analysis, art-technological source research, and reconstruction of historical techniques). The results are discussed, including identification of one of the earliest uses in painting and polychromy of intense green chrysocolla and orange-yellow lead-tin-antimony pigments. The article concludes that the distinctive interdisciplinary approach has significantly enhanced understanding of the making, meaning and original appearance of the Eilenstedt screen.
