hello! news from your angelpie!

in the last days daniela found some time to show me the most interesting places here. i already told you, that i saw the cathtedral and lamberti church. here are my pictures:

Lamberti church is the northern end of the main (principal) market. And it is the most important religious building of the Westphalian late Gothic.

It gained notoriety when the bodys of the three leaders of the Anabaptists were - after their torture and execution - hung from the tower in iron cages (see on the picture above the big clock). Since 1987 three friar's lanterns burn in the cages as a manifestation of three souls that can find no rest.





On our way back I i had a better view over the "Prinzipalmarkt" - the principal market. It's the main market, in contrast to the rye and fish market further down the street. It is also known as "parlor" of Münster.
It's dominated by gabled houses on both sides, but none of the  gables are alike. And on the north side it's edged by the Lamberti church.



"St. Paulus Dom"! the Cathedral is the largest church building in Münster, it's the center of the diocese of Münster since its inception in 805. Actually it's the third cathedral and originated in the period between 1225 and 1264th.

Such a large building of course needs a large place infront of it. Can you spot me? On this wide place a market takes place every wednesday and saturday. But today there were only a few cars.
