Guided Story

Look at the solid facade of the church. Can you feel the centuries passing by? These walls tell the story of the Ewaldi brothers, two brave missionaries who gave their lives here in the 7th century. Legend has it they never wavered in their mission, even in the face of danger. Imagine them standing right here, surrounded by the people they sought to bring hope to. As you look up, notice the intricate tracery of the windows, their colors glowing in the sunlight. Feel the silence of the space, only broken by the whisper of history. Behind you, in the distance, you might catch a glimpse of the towers of the Georgskirche, another piece of the area's rich religious tapestry.
