De Leonhardskerk staat op de Leonhardplatz in Stuttgart. De kerk werd gebouwd in 1330 en is bijna 700 jaar oud. Na haar vernietiging gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog, werd ze opnieuw hersteld in 1949. Zoals andere kerken in Stuttgart heeft deze ook moderne verlichting. Het zijn net grote glazen bollen die in de lucht hangen. Het houten balkon is versierd met enkele eenvoudige snij- en schilderwerken. Er was iemand die het orgel testte. Zuidelijk van de kerk start het Red Light District, je ziet de dames op de hoek van Leonhardplatz staan. Ik heb geen foto’s hiervan genomen daar ik niet in de problemen wou komen. Het oudste beroep in de wereld op 50m afstand van de tweede oudste kerk van Stuttgart, wie was hier eerst.?

The church is very old and your photos are great, but I would say the girls have been there longer.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place! Just think of the many thoughts and prayers that have taken place in that one church, over the years! I especially like where they placed their clock on the outside.
ReplyDeleteAn unusual clock on the church wall, great ceilings, but I don't know if those lights go with the rest of it. I think the oldest profession came even before this church.
ReplyDeletethis is such a fascinating roof that you have to wonder who put it on, and who maintains it. Interesting the two very different entities being so close together. Church and the red light district. You did miss that photo op Filip! Ha
ReplyDeletewonderful atmosphere
