Hello all!
Last week we took an afternoon after class to visit the St. Elizabeth’s Kirche (Church). St. Elizabeth was a Hessen princess who lived for part of her life in the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. She is remembered for all the work she did helping the poor and sick of her time. After her husband was killed in the Crusades, she was removed by her family from the Wartburg Castle, and dedicated the rest of her life and wealth to founding hospitals and helping the poor. St. Elizabeth is buried where the church nice stands today. It is a beautiful building. The St. Elizabeth’s Chorale at Wartburg College is named after St. Elizabeth.
After our visit to the church we enjoyed a delicious German dinner together as a group. The picture of our whole group is in front of the Marburg Rathaus (Townhall).
Auf wiedersehen! Dan
