Free Walking Sightseeing Tour #2 in Görlitz, Germany

The Holy Sepulchre in Görlitz, also known as Görlitz Jerusalem, was created as a religious synthesis of the arts, extending from the crypt of the Church of St. Peter and Paul across the city to the Holy Sepulchre. It is one of the most important sights of the city. The Holy Sepulchre Chapel in the city on the River Neisse, which became the model for many comparable structures due to its early construction, is a scaled-down copy of the Jerusalem original from the High Middle Ages, the accuracy of which has not been matched by any other replica of the Holy Sepulchre in Germany. It was deliberately integrated into the landscape. The original Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem was viewed by the later mayor Georg Emmerich and Agnete Fingerin when they undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
