Thanks for sharing the nice photos.
Another church, maybe not my favourite one but one to be mentioned: the St. Pauli church is still in ruins from WW II and nevertheless used for various activities. It is located in the Hechtviertel (Königsbrücker Platz) and is used for open air theater (with their own little theater company and quite innovative productions) and concerts during summer season. The church was built from red brick stones with about 1000 seats and a tower of 78 meters, consecrated in 1891, destroyed in 1945.

Alex, my bad. I read your comment a little too quickly this morning and thought the ‘my local church’ meant the one you attend.

Then I felt guilty for not being, I don’t know, sensitive to it or something. I have several blogging pals who are spiritual/religious, and I always make a point of being respectful and toning down what I say and/or how I say it when I visit their blog(s).

I just felt badly that maybe I hadn’t done that in this case… which would’ve been rude of me.

Who said I was religious? It’s the church closest to my house. They opened it up during BRN and you could walk to the top. It’s in Martins-Luther Platz. In Neustadt.

Alex- Yipes! I didn’t realize you were religious… (must tone down use of four letter words and rhetoric on your website!)

Martin-Luther Kirche, that’s the one near the frauenkirche, right? On the other side of the bridge… where they always have the horse-drawn carriage rides? It really is a beautiful church.

Good choice. I’ve gone by this church literally hundreds of times (going to and from work). It was kinda weird during the world cup watching hundreds of drunk belligerent teens stumble out of there after they showed games on a big screen.

I have to say my favorite, though, is Martins-Luther Kirche. My local church. The platz there is just what you expect Europe to be as an American. And I hear the bells. And I got to climb to the top once.

Oh wow, that is a gorgeous church. Too bad I only have one week in Germany and I’m in the Wiesbaden area. I can’t really ask my friend to drive me to Dresden, maybe next trip. I am going to Trier though, Unesco Site and lots of old Roman buildings…Great Photo’s…ciao
