Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lübeck
About
In the captivating city of Lübeck, the Sacred Heart Catholic Church stands as a testament to the Gothic Revival architecture brought to life by the talents of Arnold Güldenpfennig. Opened in 1891, this remarkable structure is relatively new due to the city's Protestant Reformation history, where the previous cathedral was repurposed. Visitors often find themselves enchanted by its peaceful atmosphere and the exquisite craftsmanship that adorns every corner. Among its most admired features is the Jesus on the cross sculpture by Ernst Barlach, a masterpiece that fits seamlessly into the church's stunning architecture, exuding a sense of reverence and glory. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church's perfect blend of historical integrity and architectural grace makes it a must-see attraction in Lübeck, with a deservedly high rating from those who have visited.

Schöne Kirche. Sollte man gesehen haben.

1. katholische Kirche, die hier nach der Reformation gebaut wurde am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Neugotisch - steht sie für Neuanfang und Gedenken an 4 Lübecker Geistliche, die sterben mussten für Frieden, Freiheit, Glauben. In der Krypta leuchten Kerzen zum Gedenken, dass damals Christen ihren Glauben lebten und dafür starben. Uns hat es sehr berührt. Es gibt einen ökumenischen Gedenkweg und eine Granit-Stele von Jo Kley.
