Aurich - Kirchstraße (HDR Kugelpanorama)
Zu sehen ist die Kirchstraße in Aurich. Sie stehen direkt vor der evangelisch-reformierten Kirche die im Jahre 1812-14 vom Baumeister Conrad Bernhard Meyer erbaut wurde. Der antiker Tempel mit vier wuchtigen dorischen Säulen ist der einzige klassizistische Zentralbau im Weser-Ems-Gebiet. Dieser Sakralbau wurde auf Wunsch von Napoleon erbaut, er schenkte der Stadt 15.000 Franc zum Zwecke einen Tempel zu errichten. Der Bau wurde 15 mal so teuer, was die Stadt an den Rand des Ruins führte. Daraufhin sammelten die jüdische und die lutherische Gemeinde Geld, damit der Bau vollendet werden konnte.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
