Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze rustling through the trees here in the Mühlweg district? It's almost like stepping back in time with the quietness surrounding you. Look up, and you might notice a gargoyle perched high above, keeping watch over the entrance. These stone creatures weren’t just water spouts—they were believed to ward off evil spirits. Imagine pilgrims from centuries past, seeking refuge and hope as they entered these sacred walls. Behind you, the Würfelwiese offers a lush contrast, a peaceful green space that complements the church's grandeur. As you stand here, you might just hear the whispers of history waiting to be uncovered.
