A separating arch is an arch, which, as arcade, separates the nave of a church from the side aisle, [1] or an arch between two adjacent side aisles. [2] It is found mainly in hall churches. [3] A separating arch can be replaced constructively or decoratively emphasised by a vault rib . [4] In this case one speaks - instead of an arcade arch - also of a separating arch. [5]

Separating arches as elements of vaults and wall division

Separating arches delimit a bay in the longitudinal direction. [6] A pair of transverse arches and a pair of separating arches result in a vault. [7] 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. [8]

A wall supported by separating arch is called a separating wall. [9]
