St. Martini Church

The sun decided to pay a visit to Münster today and yesterday to make people happy, so I decided to get my camera out and take a few photos before it left because the sun always plays peekaboo with the Germans, especially on this side of Germany, and I find that very unfair for the sweet Germans. You should have seen them today; the Munsterans were happy, outside, and smiling, whereas normally people appear depressed and down. So, if you want to make a German happy, simply bring them some sunshine, but I prefer it because it makes me look less like a clown smiling alone. When I used to work as a mailman here in Munster, my boss and colleagues would always ask me what my secrets were for always smiling, but I would tell them the truth: I had a lot of vitamin D stored in my body from the years I lived in Morocco. 😂
Anyway, I took the first picture of Neubrückenstrasse, and as you can see, it's beautiful with the sky clearing from the dark clouds and Münster looking new and fresh after being washed from weeks of rain and snow, and then I came across this beautiful Church called St. Martini. I always walk by this beautiful Roman Catholic church, but today I decided to learn more about it. It was built around 1180 and is located on the corner of Martinistrasse and Neubrückenstrasse, near the Städtische Bühnen Münster.

A photo of Neubrückenstrasse There appears to be a Jugendkirche here in Germany, it is only for people under the age of 25. Youth churches bring together youth and the church apparently. They are a well-established format for evangelical youth ministry. Their methods and content are similar to those of the Evangelical Youth's other forms of work. Youth services, cafes, projects, and educational formats are available.

The ST MARTINI CHURCH was originally a three-aisled basilica, with only the bottom portion of the tower remaining today. In the Middle Ages, the basilica-style nave was replaced by a three-aisled hall church, which was supplemented by a long choir around 1380. The Martini Church is also the diocese of Munster's first youth church.
