#Johanniskirche (St. John's Church) in #Magdeburg for #MonochromeMonday. The church was first mentioned in 941 when Otto The Great donated it to monks. In 1524, Martin Luther preached here, and the church (as well as the city) converted to Protestantism. The church was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the course of the centuries, which led to a mix of architectural styles. Rededicated in 1999, it now hosts cultural events rather than church services.

#FotoVorschlag: Am #Fluss // By the #river

Noch mal die #Hubbrücke über der Elbe in #Magdeburg, was sonst? Hier ist nur der zweite Teil der #Kunstinstallation von #MaurizioNannucci zu sehen, dafür aber auch die #Johanniskirche. // This calls for another shot of the Hubbrücke #bridge over the #Elbe river in Magdeburg! Only the second part of Maurizio Nannucci's #artInstallation is visible here, but you get to see St. John's #church instead.

Anguish ... for #SpookySaturday

This #statue by sculptor Heinrich Apel is called "Mother and child". Apel's #art can be found all over #Magdeburg. Another of his works is the quirky bird door handle of the Cathedral which I posted a while ago. You can find this statue in front of #Johanniskirche (St. John's church) in Magdeburg.

Maybe you remember that there was a car attack on Magdeburg's Christmas market last December, killing 6 people and injuring hundreds of others. This happened only a stone's throw from the church, and, as you may see here, there are still flowers, candles, and messages to remember the victims. (I took this photo in April, but they are still there)
