Jakobkirch

Another city, another church. This one was originally built between 1350 and 1412. Not much of anything from the pre-war period remains, as it was pretty much gutted by bombing in March 1945. They even have a model and photos to show the damage.

Still, I always like to visit churches, find what's interesting, nice to look at in them. They had a section of the old wall visible, as well as an area of reconstructed painting. It reminded me of the colors in the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The highlight of this visit was the display of nativity scenes, which is in a separate post.

Lutherans will appreciate the words over the door, "A Fortress is our God".Read more
