Oben die katholische Kirche in der Stadtmitte /Above the Catholic Church in the city.
Oben die mittelalterliche Wandmalerei im Dom - ein herrlicher Anblick! Above the mediaevel Frescos on the cathedral wall - a magnificent sight!
Ober der Bischofssitz aus dem 16. Jh. - so wisser wir, wer was zu sagen hat. Above the Bishop's throne from the 16th century - we see who has the final word here.
Oben der Beichtstuhl aus dem späten Mittelalter - gedacht, um ja Reue hervorzubringen. Above the confessional booth from the late mediaevel age - helps put you in a penitential mood.
Oben das Altar aus dem Mittelalter. Above the alter from the mediaeval age.
Hier die Burg, das Schloß, und der Dom - herrlich! Here the Fortress, the castle, and the cathedral - mediaeval majesty!
Herein - hier der Innenraum des Domes. Here is the interior of the cathedral.
Die Ansicht von der Wehr - so konnte man Feinde erblicken. The view from the bastian of the fortress, where you could spot the enemy.
Nun spielt der Feind Basketball vor der Wehr. Now the enemy is armed with a Basketball in front of the fortress.
Oben mehrere Bilder vom Dom und einer anderen Kirche in Marienwerder. Meine Vorfahren konnten zu Fuß in so 30 Minuten den Dom erreichen. Nach der Reformation war alles Evangelisch, seit 1945 aber wieder Katholisch. Hier erlebt man die schlichte elde Majestät des preußisch geprägten Glaubens. Hier ist nichts von Oberflächlichkeit zu spüren. Und das unter den herrlichen Wolken und mit den grünen Feldern rund herum. Above are several pictures of the cathedral and another church in Marienwerder. My ancestors could reach this cathedral by foot in about 30 minutes. After the Reformation everything was Lutheran, but since 1945 it's all Roman Catholic again. Here you experience the simple and noble majesty of the Prussian style of faith. No phoniness here. And all this under the beautiful clouds of this region with the incredibly green fields.

Basketball can be very dangerous. I have been forced to teach my children basketball for self defence. I am glad they have a fortress there to protect themselves. Wonderful pictures!
Oh, Chris, I am so sorry I forgot the sorrow you have just emerged from, dealing with the tragic death of your recent basketball goal. You are indeed familiar with the violent nature of basketball and the mortality rate such lifestyles bring. I have recently been noticing the incredible stability of basketball goals in Germany and Poland - here they've learned and put an end to such sorrow.
gorgeous!
