Ulm, Germanyis a city well-known for its impressive Lutheran church, which is technically a Minster, not a Cathedral. It has the world’s highest church steeple, at 161.53 m (529.95 ft) high and 768 steps to climb to the top. That’s pretty tall – that steeple really towers above the square – no pun intended.

That photo is actually a bit of a trick shot, BTW. The clouds were actually over to the right of the steeple in real life, so as an experiment I did a double-exposure at the moment when I took the photo. That let me photograph the steeple climbing up into the heavens. Well, sort of.
Anyway, behind the Minster Chris noticed on the map that there was an important street to find: Paradiesgasse. I.e., “Paradise street”:
One Way to Paradise, Ulm
If you’re on a bike you can go round trip up and down — between heaven and hell?
Well, I’m not sure where you’re going on the bike, actually. Because the blue and white sign clearly marks the road to Paradise as only one way and always to the right.
But of course.
Does this mean liberals are left and won’t go to Paradise? Or don’t they have the same meaning in Germany.
Well, I meant right vs wrong, actually, not any other meaning. Heaven vs. hell and all that… 😉
Paradise can wait. I’m eager to see where the bikes go.
Can you educate us on the term ” minister” applied to an edifice? That’s a new one on me, but maybe I’ve been hanging around in the wrong buildings.
