Great piece. Thanks for posting the details about the church and Maas, which I find fascinating. Travel IS about story and exploration. Why else travel if not to learn?

That's a fascinating bit of history, PHeymont. I'm not sure I know of another church that was literally physically divided to serve two congregations. Anyone else know of any?

Actually, I do know of another, and it’s been featured on TravelGumbo! But that was a different sort of division. St. Helen’s Bishopsgate, in London, has two parallel naves; one was used by the lay parish congregation, and the other by the nuns of the adjoining convent. The division there was by a ceiling-high curtain running the length of the church. The original blog was for Where in the World #23, almost a year and a half ago! Here's the LINK

Church of the Holy Spirit, Heidelberg (Where Gumbo Was #125)

The Heiliggeistkirche, to give it its German name, is the most imposing church in Heidelberg; it stands out above the Altstadt (Old City) section of the city so distinctively that I dared not include an exterior view among the clues. I make amends...

Gumbo was visiting Germany's famous parliament building, the Reichstag. It has an interesting history and just a few decades ago underwent a brilliant modernization.

This unremarkable parking lot sits atop a very remarkable piece of history...the Fuhrerbunker.

Is the clock running out on Spain's 'wrong time?'

Spain may be ready to undo the Franco-era decision to share a time zone with Germany rather than England...and it may bring even more change with it.

I am glad that there is no monument or memorial at the site. An empty dirt parking lot is more than the tyrant deserves.
