⛪️ Church, Brats 🌭 and Bier 🍺

In Venne today there was a unified outdoor church service of three Lutheran congregations. Of course it was in German, however, also unique in that there was a 19 piece brass band providing the music.

The service took place in a park near the church called “The Island” that is surrounded by a moat and has historical buildings.
We knew there was going to be food afterward and halfway through you could smell the delicious bratwursts on the grill. AND, they also sold 🍺 beer!

Maybe serving beers and brats after church might boost attendance!!!

After visiting the local church in Venne, we traveled to Kalkreise. A Battle took place here in 9 A.D. between the Roman Army led by Varus and three Germanic tribes led by Arminius, a.k.a. Herman the German. The tribes were victorious and the Romans never tried to conquer this area again. This is a mask retrieved from the battle site.
Dinner was at the Idingshof Hotel and I had the walleye with truffle sauce, white asparagus, carrots 🥕 and mashed potatoes. Outstanding!

Tomorrow we head to Bremen.
