Konstanz, DE
The construction of Konstanz Cathedral took place over an extremely long period from the 6th to the 19th century. It is one of the most important Romanesque churches in south-western Germany, although renovation between 1420 and 1520 gave it a Gothic appearance. The church was the meeting place of the Council of Constance (1414-1418), which put an end to the western schism.
Düsseldorf, DE
The Kreuzherrenkirche was initially a monastery church of the Order of the Order of the Cross existing since the 15th century. After a long period of abandon in the 19th and 20th centuries (as a horse stable, storage room, depot and until 1957 as a tax office) it was re-consecrated in 1990.

This is one of the main churches of the old town of Hanover that was destroyed in an air-raid in 1943 and are now merged into a single parish known as the Marktkirche. This church was built in the 14th century and held the first Lutheran ceremony in Hannover in 1533, after the reformation. The modern church was rebuilt in 1961 after its destruction during the Second World War.
Suhl, DE
The Evangelical Lutheran Kreuzkirche was built between 1731 and 1739 after the establishment of the new Kreuzkirche parish in 1704 for the western districts of Suhl. It was built by the Königshof master mason Johann Michael Schmidt and the carpenter Johann Sebastian Gerbig. At that time, it was located at the western end of the town, between two town gates. For this reason, the church tower with the representative entrance portal was placed on the eastern side of the facade, facing the centre of the town, and the opposite chancel was oriented to the west.
Marburg, DE
The Church of St. Johannes Evangelist, also called Kugelkirche, was built between 1492 and 1520 and belonged to the former monastery of Kugelherren. The name of the church (Kugelkirche) is derived from the headgear of the friars, who wore a long spike called "Gugel". After the dissolution of the monastery in 1527, the church was bequeathed to the new University of Marburg. Since 1827 it has been the property of the Catholic parish, which uses it as a parish church.

From 1995, the remaining buildings were restored and the monastery site now serves as a museum of the history of the town, a tourist information centre, a building for events and a public library.
