separating arch
{{Short description|Arch found in hall churches}}
A separating arch is an arch, which, as arcade, separates the nave of a church from the side aisle,Günther Wasmuth (ed.): Wasmuths Lexikon der Baukunst, vol. 4: P - Zyp. Wasmuth, Berlin 1932, {{p.|293}}. or an arch between two adjacent side aisles.{{Ill|Wilfried Koch|de}}: Baustilkunde - Europäische Baukunst von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Sonderausgabe, Orbis Verlag, München 1988, {{ISBN|3-572-05927-5}}, {{p.|447}}. It is found mainly in hall churches.Art. Scheidbogen. In Hans Koepf, Günther Binding: Bildwörterbuch der Architektur. Alfred Kröner Verlag, Stuttgart, 4th edition. 2005, {{p.|411}}. A separating arch can be replaced constructively or emphasised decoratively by a {{Ill|Gewölberippe|de|3=Gewölberippe|lt=vault rib}}.Art. Scheidbogenrippe. In Hans Koepf, Günther Binding: Bildwörterbuch der Architektur. Alfred Kröner Verlag, Stuttgart, 4th edition 2005, {{p.|411}}. In this case one speaks - instead of a Scheidbogen - also of a Scheidrippe.Dieter Kimpel, Robert Suckale: Die gothische Architektur in Frankreich, 1130-1270. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt 1985, {{p.|24}}.
Separating arches as elements of vaults and wall division
Separating arches delimit a bay in the longitudinal direction.Art. Vault. In: Nikolaus Pevsner, Hugh Honour, John Fleming: Encyclopedia of World Architecture. 2nd, expanded ed. 1987, {{ISBN|3-7913-0652-9}}, {{pp.|230|232}}, here {{p.|231}}. A pair of transverse arches and a pair of separating arches result in a vault.Günther Binding: Architektonische Formenlehre. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 4th, revised and supplemented ed. 1998, {{p.|122}}. With the belt arches as well as the pillars or columns at the four corners, the segmental arches form a vault field as the basic element of a vault.Art. Gewölbefeld. In Hans Koepf, Günther Binding: Bildwörterbuch der Architektur. Alfred Kröner Verlag, Stuttgart, 4th edition 2005, {{p.|213}}.
A wall supported by separating arch is called a separating wall.Wilfried Koch: Baustilkunde. Prestel, Munich, 32nd edition 2014, {{ISBN|978-3-7913-4997-8}}, {{p.|159}}.
