Guided Story
Feel the slight chill of the air coming from inside the church? Look up, and you'll see the intricate arches and rose windows—hallmarks of the Romanesque Revival style that Stüler brought to life here. Imagine people in the 1870s stepping inside, filled with awe at the grandeur surrounding them. This church wasn't just for prayer; it was a community hub. Turn around and glance to the west, where the Nickelmannbrunnen stands. A century ago, you might have seen horse-drawn carriages passing by on the way to the church.
