Great death in Strasbourg in the summer, which made the churches so rich, that they could be replaced by newer larger ones.

A dying in Strasbourg.
In the year 1381, there was a great dying in Strasbourg in the summer: it was so big and durated so long, then never before. The churches have become so rich, that the old churches of St. Martin, St. Nicholas and the old St. Peter were torn down and replaced with new, wider churches.
