👍👍 A great Catholic church in the Luisenviertel/Friedrich Ebert Strasse. There is currently a bell in the interior of the church until March 31, 2023, which was made entirely from gunshot. There are only 5 copies of this in the world. In front of the church on Laurenziusplatz there are numerous cafés a... People often mention church,

    A great Catholic church in the Luisenviertel/Friedrich Ebert Strasse. There is currently a bell in the interior of the church until March 31, 2023, which was made entirely from gunshot. There are only 5 copies of this in the world. In front of the church on Laurenziusplatz there are numerous cafés and a very good ice cream parlor that invite you to linger.

    It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This is my home, daily Mass celebration. We are celebrating the Laurentius Festival Week in honor of Wuppertal's patron saint - St. Laurentius, from Friday, August 9th. until August 17, 2019.

    Was there to see Michael Patrick Kelly's Peace Bell before it continues its journey. Very impressive and the basilica is also worth a visit. Anyone looking for a place for reflection or prayer is in good hands.

    The Basilica of St. Laurentius is a beautiful church in the middle of Wuppertal that is worth a visit. It is an important part of the Way of the Cross, especially during the Good Friday procession.

    Very nice ! A landmark of Wuppertal-Elberfeld! It's best to walk around the basilica. Extremely interesting paintings on the walls. I had already put a photo of the pictures published here in another post! From an ice cream parlor. Directly opposite there is the best ice cream in the city 🤘 nice in summer and of course after Corona (otherwise just to go)

    (Translated by Google) The classical building exudes solidity. The square is a jewel in terms of urban development. The church gives the row of houses with the cafés on Prinz-Georg-Strasse a calm and stylish counterpart. (Original) Das klassizistische Gebäude strahlt Solidität aus. Der Platz ist städtebaulich ein Juwel. Die Kirche gibt der Häuserzeile mit den Cafés an der Prinz-Georg-Strasse ein ruhiges und stilvolles Gegenüber.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and imposing churches in Wuppertal. And we have a lot of churches worth seeing here. But this one stands out because it was painted entirely in a well-matching dusky pink. That's how she catches the eye. And inside, our already mentioned eyes are also offered a lot. Once inside, one would like to linger for a longer period of time in order to have a detailed conversation with oneself or with Jesus. Have fun chatting with Jesus. (Original) Eine der Schönsten und imposantesten Kirchen in Wuppertal. Und wir haben hier bei uns eine ganze Menge sehenswerter Kirchen. Doch diese sticht heraus, weil sie ganz in einen gut passenden altrosa gestrichen wurde. So fällt sie direkt ins Auge. Und auch innen bekommen unser schon erwähnten Augen einiges geboten. Einmal drin möchte man gerne längere Zeit verweilen um mit sich oder Jesus ein ausführliches Gespräch zu führen. Viel Vergnügen beim Plausch mit Jesus.

    We were here today to look at the Peace Bell, we were there around 12 o'clock and enjoyed the family mass that had just been held. After mass we were able to look at the bell up close... the clapper is from an old G3 rifle. The entire bell is made from weapons scrap; in previous wars, bells were melted down to make ammunition and weapons. Here it is exactly the opposite, which is also the purpose of the Peace Bell Project

    (Translated by Google) The church square invites you to linger. There is a delicious ice cream shop across the street and the children can sweep the square with the wheel. The church looks more beautiful on the outside than on the inside. Very simple and not splendid. Very unusual for a Catholic church. (Original) Der Kirchplatz lädt zum verweilen ein. Gegenüber gibt es eine leckere Eisdiele und die Kinder können mit dem Laufrad über er den Platz fegen. Die Kirche wirkt von außen schöner als innen. Sehr einfach und wenig prunkvoll. Sehr unüblich für eine katholische Kirche.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful church with a large expanse. Baroque high altar and several altars in the hall. Great parish team, trustworthy and always in a good mood. It's a shame that some of the reviews here are used for religious hate posts. (Original) Schöne Kirche mit einer großer Weite. Barocker Hochaltar und mehrere Altäre im Saal. Tolles Pfarrteam, vertrauenswürdig und immer gut gelaunt. Schade dass die Bewertungen hier teils für religiöse Hass-Posts genutzt werden.
