The Lutheran cathedral is huge and dominates the skyline.


The interior of the cathedral is WHITE.  Luther did not fear image-worship, but did disapprove of the financial expenditures associated with the splendor of the Church. Luther felt that alms given to the church were more appropriately spent to care for the poor. The almost total lack of color and religious imagery in this cathedral is daunting for a visual artist.  Art can teach.  Visual inspiration can be important in experiencing spirituality.
