The Old Towns in Wismar and Stralsund have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2002. I highlight Stralsund’s 3 main churches and some of the town’s characteristic architecture.
St. Mary’s ChurchThat is some altar, with abundant vertical space above.
St. Nicholas Church.
The high altar, in St. Nick’s
Wall painting, crucifixionscene with Peter, Mary, John, Paul, Nicholas.
Alter Markt: “Backgothic” style.
Badenstraße.
St. Jakob (St. James)
Spare or austere decoration by comparison; use of its big spaces gives the name “Kulturkirche.”
On exhibition inside St. James’ is a partial retrospective on German-American photographer Leni Sinclair (b. 1940 in Königsberg).
Welterbe-Ausstellung, near Alter Markt. The larger than usual panel at right-centre is the World Heritage Site listing for the Hanseatic cities of Wismar and Stralsund.
On travel day 25, I’ve now visited in Germany 6 (new to me) UNESCO World Heritage Sites, bringing my total to 40 from 52.
I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 1 Jun 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
