Higher than the Church is a legend set in the early sixteenth century in the German town of Breisach (located on the Rhine, across the river from French Alsace), in which the emperor Maximilian I and the artist Albrecht Durer figure. The main character is a young artisan and student of Durer's, who is commissioned to carve an altar for the Breisach cathedral. During the many-year ordeal he is separated from his lover.
