Der Brander Dom beeindruckt.
Im Jahr 1879 wurde der Bau begonnen und vier Jahre später vollendet.
Hier kann man Stille, aber auch wunderschöne Fotomotive finden.

Der Service in Pfarrbüro ist ok, dass der Herr Bischof Dieser nicht in der Lage ist, dass in allen Pfarrgemeinden jedem Sontag heilige Messe gibt, ist ein Armutszeugnis. In vielen Pfarrgemeinden in anderen Ländern wie Spanien betreut 1 Priester bis zu 5 Gemeinden und list von Samstag bis Sonntag 5 Messen. Die katholische Kirche (Institution) ist in Deutschland ( Trauerspiel )

Dr. Stichwardt und sein Team sind eine der best organisiertestes und kompetentesten Praxen aus Aachen.
Ich hatte zuvor mehrere andere Zahnärzte besucht gehabt und erst hier das Gefühl einer kompetenten Beratung bekommen.
Vor allem mit der Arbeit von Frau Friedrich bin ich sehr zufrieden. Sie nimmt sich wirklich sehr viel Zeit und kümmert sich um die Probleme ihrer Patienten. Ich gehe seit 4 Jahren nur noch zu dieser Praxis und habe sie schon meinem Umfeld empfohlen.

Ich kann meine Ehrfahrungen für diesen Ort nicht so beschreiben. Ich, wir gehen dort oft zur hl. Messe.
Je nach Stimmung kommt es auf meine innere Verfassung an.
Das Gebäude gibt einem die entsprechende Einstimmung dazu.
Noch ein guter Ort dazu ...
