Behalt

Behalt, meaning "to keep or remember", is a 10′ x 265′ cyclorama by Heinz Gaugel. It illustrates the heritage of the Amish and Mennonite people from the Anabaptist beginning in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1525 to the present day. It is located in the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center in Berlin, Holmes County, Ohio.[1]

The cyclorama was made in thought of the resurrected Jesus Christ, which followed the development of the early Christian church, the acceptance of the Christian church by the Roman Empire under Constantine, and the early development of the Roman Catholic Church.[2]
