The men's choir at Christmas is simply great, as if you were at a concert.

This cathedral impresses with its simple elegance, which is unostentatious for Catholic houses of worship. I like it very much, but the crucifix seems completely lost. What a shame for this wonderful cathedral! A place of peace and closeness to God is celebrated.

The photo by Franz-Josef Kemper shows Tübingen from the Neckar side and not the cathedral in Rottenburg. Please correct.

The small three-aisled basilica offers a beautiful sight on the market square of Rottenburg. Entering the interior, one is struck by the relative sobriety - quite at odds with the medieval/baroque exterior and most Catholic churches. A rather modest episcopal seat (in a positive sense)...

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
