I know, and in the forums link someone suggests spire, which is 
marked as [arch] for "Turmspitze".

And for "durchbrochen" they suggest "open work".

I've searched a bit and it seems to be right: At 
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05745c.htm
I found: 'open-work tracery in the spires is very characteristic. The 
typical examples of German Gothic are Strasburg, Freiburg, Ratisbon, 
Cologne, and Vienna cathedrals'

And on http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06665b.htm
'The "open-work" spire, such as that of Freiburg, is a German 
development of a Flamboyant idea'

On http://stlouisrc.bfn.org/stlou/stloufront/ they talk about 'open-
work spire' as well as 'pierced spire'...

I was surprised myself. The sharpness is better for nearer details - 
Either I forgot to focus my Zenitar (it's manual focus) or it is 
badly adjusted. This would explain why the Marketplace pano which I 
took the same day with the same combo is less sharp. It is very hard 
to judge the sharpness of a fisheye in the viewfinder and I must 
admit that I never made a focus bracketed series to determine whether 
the scale is ok (it's a bit laborious for analog film)...
