This family's experience:

Activities: We took a look inside the Stadtkirche. It is considered the most important church building of early Protestantism in Northern Germany. Johann Gottfried Herder preached here once. The inscription "Exemplum Religionis, Non STructurae" ("An example of piety, not of architecture") made us laugh

Highlights: We enjoyed seeing the architecture and the inscription inside. Our boys always enjoyed the inscription ✨
