Probably. The liturgical arts were thought by the first Lutherans, like those today, to be great aides to worship and learning. That includes statuary, music, carvings, architecture, stained glass and ritual posture. It was the puritanical reforms, which Luther and his fellow reformers rejected, that purged Churches of the Sacred Arts.

Why do they put lead in glass?
Lead, in the form of lead oxide, PbO, is added to glass to stabilize the matrix and improve the working characteristics of the glass. As a flux, PbO lowers the melting point considerably, and it also decreases the viscosity of the material. Additionally, lead oxide changes (increases) the refractive index of the glass.

Why did churches use stain glass windows?
The purpose is not specifically recorded, and has been the subject of much commentary. In my opinion, the purpose was to light the church in a way that was primarily decorative. Rose windows had no pictures or words on them and were purely decorative. You will read that stained glass windows were a way of teaching the Bible to illiterate people, but if you go into a medieval church and look up at the windows, you will see that they pretty much all look alike, and can be distinguished best by the words that were painted and fired onto the glass. I have provided a link to an article on medieval stained glass below. You can look at the pictures there and decide for yourself whether the idea was more educational or more decorative.

When were house windows first use?
Windows in houses and other buildings have been used ever since ancient times, in the Babylonian, Assyrian and Pharonic Egyptian Empires, although in those days they were simply open gaps that were covered with either fabric curtains or shutters at night. Even the Romans, who used glassware a lot in tableware, never used glass in their windows as they had not mastered the technique of rolling it to make window panes. The Bronze and Iron Age tribes of Europe did not have windows in their residential huts at all, though they did have small openings in their 'moot halls' to allow light in. Glass first began to be used in windows in late Anglo-Saxon times, mostly in churches, but these could only be constructed using small pieces of glass held together in a framework of lead. This is why stained-glass windows in Mediaeval cathedrals and churches are made up of small pieces with leaden supports in between. During this era, glass in windows was reserved for ecclesiastical use in monasteries, abbeys and churches- even the wealthy upper classes living in castles or fortified manors had open windows that were sealed with wooden shutters at night. The technique of making plate-glass windows by rolling molten glass into flat pieces was not developed until the latter years of King Henry VIII's reign (i.e. 1540's), but it was only the nobility and extremely wealthy who could afford to have these installed- many continued to use the old-style lattice windows, and plate-glass continued to be unusual up until the end of the 17th Century. It was only from around the time of the architect Sir Christopher Wren that plate glass came into widespread use.
