	I took the picture; of Karlheinz Oswald's bronze; of Hildegard of Bingen; at Eibingen Abbey.

Did you know ...

... that the communion song "Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet"
("God be praised and blessed"), which Martin Luther (pictured) derived from an older model, entered Catholic hymnals in the 20th century?
... that when the citizens of Hanover accepted the Reformation in 1533, the 200-year-old Kreuzkirche became Lutheran?
... that "Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl" ("The mouth of fools doth God confess") by Martin Luther was one of eight hymns in the first Lutheran hymnal?
... that three stanzas of the penitential hymn "Ach lieben Christen seid getrost" ("Ah dear Christians, be comforted") by Johannes Gigas were retained unchanged for Bach's chorale cantata?
... that facing the rise of Nazi ideology, Otto Riethmüller compiled the song for young people "Sonne der Gerechtigkeit" from hymns of three authors of two earlier centuries?
... and more hymns, places, hope?
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott?
