A little about St. Elizabeth of Hungary cathedral:  

           This work drawing depicts the perspective elevation of the high altar of the German architectural marvel constructed in the 13th century CE to house the shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary and serve as a church for the Knights of the Teutonic Order. It was commissioned by Landgrave Conrad, her brother-in-law, and their Grand Master. St. Elizabeth was canonized on March 27, 1235, and construction of the church began on August 12 of the same year. Completed in 1283, the knights utilized it until the order's dissolution in 1809.

About St. Elizabeth of Hungary;

          Elizabeth of Hungary also known as Elisabeth of Thuringia, was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary and the landgravine of Thuringia.

Elizabeth was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary. At the tender age of 14, Elizabeth entered into marriage, only to be widowed at 20. After the death of her husband, she reclaimed her dowry and utilized the funds to establish a hospital, where she herself served the sick. Renowned for her acts of Christian charity, she passed away in 1231 at the age of 24 and was canonized on May 25, 1235. The Catholic Church venerates her as a saint.
