Talking to the Dead
Episode 38: I visit the 1200 year old St. Maria Lyskirchen church in Cologne to meet the dead still visiting there.
In this next chapter of the podcast, I have been asked by many souls to get out of my usual place, and go and visit them in places their energy still resides. This week I go to the St. Maria Lyskirchen, in Cologne, which at neally 1,180 years since its founding in 948 is one of the oldest churches in Cologne ! I meet Titan, and the Church Organist I believe, during the Second World War. Hans tells me of the love and tragedy he witnessed before he died after the war in a refugee camp from disease.
About the Church.
It was founded in 948, and the present building dates from 1210 to 1220, with some later additions in the Gothic style.[2] The upper parts of the west front were rebuilt in the 19th century.[3] The church is in the form of a three-aisled basilica, with a chancel flanked by two towers, only one of which was constructed to its full height, and an eastern apse.[3] The building received only minor damage during the wars.
