| Turm der Weißfrauenkirche - White Tower of the Church of Our Lady |
At noon on Thursday the 4th of
April, a bus full of Sarawakians driven by Georges; from Budapest with tour guide,
Ivano from Roma - were dropped off at Willy Brandt Platz presumably to take
photos of the big Euro sign and the 40 storey Euro Tower. I obliged although it
was all a bit bland. Others disappeared into a nearby pub – it WAS lunch time
after all and dinner time in Malaysia.
The plaza was cold and windy so Sam and I left it to wandering up one of the side streets; looking for something with a bit of character or out of character, as all the buildings appeared so strait-laced and homogenous. We spied the curved canopy of a hall with a white
tower beside it and I sketched it while waiting for our friends to finish their meal and beers. I regretted not joining them for beers but am glad to get my first sketch of Germany.
Later I found out that this is the Church of Our Lady and the White Tower is the site for an art installation that will transform it into a multi-coloured lantern built with larch lattices.
