Sankt Johannis

Sankt Johannis was built in the 1400s. In 1528, the Margrave Georg the Pious decided he (and everyone else in Ansbach) were going to be Evangelical (again, in American terminology, Lutheran). The rest is history.

The windows, which remind me of the ones from the Lutheran churches in which I went to as a young child, are painted stained glass which were installed in 1903. You can tell from the windows, this is a very Lutheran church. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This was our last stop in Ansbach before we gave up. We made a stop on the way back to the castle to get some snacks and food for breakfast. We'd be leaving early the next day, way before breakfast started. We had to return the car to the Frankfurt airport by 10, and it was at least a two plus hour drive.

Here endeth the day Herr Haifisch planned. Let us never do it again.Leggi altro
