Guided Story

Imagine you're standing before a building that has held the stories of people and time within its walls for nearly a century. Look up, and you'll see the impressive tower rising proudly into the sky, a creation by Josef Franke that's as much a testament to architectural skill as it is to an era of change. Behind you, the Heilig-Kreuz Church stretches out with its unique form, distinct from traditional church designs. Feel the quiet around you, occasionally broken by the flutter of a bird's wings. Nearby, to the east, stands the Nicolai Church, once friendly rivals with the Heilig-Kreuz Church. These two structures are silent witnesses to the vibrant community that once thrived here.
