That Shy-Seeming Church


Die Alt-Katholische Kirche St. Katharina am Katharinenplatz/Ecke Olgastraße wirkt durch die vielen Bäume und Sträucher recht schüchtern. Leider konnte ich nicht hinein, viele Kirchen sind aus Furcht vor Vandalismus geschlossen und nur zu Gottesdiensten und anderen feierlichen Gelegenheiten geöffnet.
The Old-Catholic church named St Katharina is situated at Katharinenplatz and Olgastraße. It seems a little bit shy because of the trees and bushes. Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit the inside. Many churches are closed lest they should fall prey to vandalism. They are only open for services and other ceremonial occasions.

It's a shame that churches are afraid to leave their doors open ... a sign of the times, I guess. Lovely photographs of what appears to be a very nice building.
