Die Predigerkirche

Last night, my wife and I attended an organ concert in the Predigerkirche, the “Preacher Church,” a medieval Dominican structure dating back to the 1200s.  (It was transformed into an Evangelical Lutheran church during the Reformation, and it remains a Protestant church still today.)

Among the previous organists at the Predigerkirche were Johannes Bach, the progenitor of the entire Bach musical line (including Johann Sebastian Bach), and Johann Pachelbel.

But the church is most famous because, at its very beginning in the thirteenth century, the great German mystic Meister Eckhart served as prior here.
