During that my wife an I visited some nice cities, and I took the opportunity for some research photos :)
During a trip to the Hanseatic City of Wismar we had the chance to see many so called "redbrick gothic" buildings.
Here you can see the tower of the Marienkirche (all that is left of the church itself)
Just opposite is the Archdiaconate (sp?)
Nice gothic lines
Then there was the Fürstenhof with really nice ornaments
Nowadays the county court is hosted there
And behind it is the St.Georgen-Kirche...
All I can say is...
WOW
It is all empty and it is H U G E
This is truely to the Emperors liking :)
I took a short video to give you at least a little bit of the feeling in there
And a second longer video
I really hope you can get the impression how huge this cathedral is.
Then we continued to the Heiligen-Geist-Kirche
This church is currently in use and very well renovated and preserved
Then we continued our trip to Doberan, with its famous Minster
The Entrance
wonderful ornaments
Paintings
Paintings
and some very nice shrines
Imperial Iconography, isn't it?
On the next day we visited the Hanseatic City of Rostock.
This organ is really beautiful - and truely huge
Again several small shrines and ornaments

On the next day we visited the Hanseatic City of Rostock.
And there we had the chance to visit the very famous Marienkirche. It played a major role 20 years ago in the peaceful revolution in the German Democratic Republic and later the unification of Germany.
Some of the demonstrations started right there.
Besides its important role in the near past, I contains some wonderful artwork (which can easily be adapted for 40K)

Well I hope you like this little detour of the normal blog topic.
Maybe it gives you some ideas for your next project.
