A Site in Wiesbaden to See

On a quiet day in the fall....when you've got enthusiasm to walk a piece in Wiesbaden.....about two blocks west of the Bahnhof is Mosbacher Strasse.  Just a few hundred feet down the street is the Lutheran Church of Wiesbaden.

It was built around 1910....a couple of years prior to WW I.

It was designed by Friedrich Putzer....who strangely enough had this reputation in church architecture.   In his late 30's...he put the plan on the table for the church.

There are four Lutheran churches within the city limits of Wiesbaden.  If you take an extended walk around west end of the train station area.....you tend to notice upscale houses which date back to the late 1880-1900 period.  One can only imagine that enough influence drew itself to this suburb in that time period, and the church folks figured they needed an impressive site.

It's about a block away from city hall.  It's worth a walk.....just don't get over excited.  Those Lutheran folks weren't into dynamic structures....like the Catholic folks.

WIR Lutheraner sind sehr niedrig im Vergleich zu den KEY FLAMBOYANT Katholiken und mit weit weniger Sünden, also die QUIET schlichte Design dieser Kirche
