THE CATHEDRAL OF OUR LADY ( FRAUENKIRCHE), MUNICH, GERMANY 🇩🇪

The Frauenkirche is a late Gothic, three-nave hall church. The nave is 109 meters long, 40 meters wide and 37 meters high and can accommodate 20,000 people.

A typical sign of the Gothic style are the upward striving pillars inside the church. The white pillars and the light vault ribs, alongside the stained glass windows, create a bright and open impression.

The legend of the devil's footprint

According to legend, the famous footprint in the entrance hall was made by the devil himself. He made a bet with the master builder for his soul, that there would be no windows in the church. Upon return to the aforementioned place, he could not see any windows at first, as they were covered by the columns. Out of joy at the supposed ignorance of the people, he stamped up and left his footprint in the ground.

But when the devil took another step forward, he discovered the windows and felt that he has been deceived. Angrily, he turned into wind in order to destroy the building. It's probably the devil is still trying, because near the cathedral or at the entrance, you tend to feel a slight breeze.
