Powerful pictures from Erfurt

Powerful pictures from Erfurt this afternoon.

Interesting to know what Christian Wulff and Angela Merkel said to the episcopal gliterati in the former Augustinian church.

And then later it was Erfurt born Hans Dietrich Genscher played such an important role in the days and months before the fall of the Wall.

And Erfurt is not too far from the Wartburg where Luther translated the Bible.
