Taize II & Bolivarplatz

Is very generous that the city of Hamburg permited 30 years ago the installation of this monument (Photo); "Der Befreier" means the Liberator.
The figure of Simon Bolivar is also in the Rathaus:
Danke Hamburg!
***
Since 1847 the figure of S.Bolivar becomes another god for some of venezuelans; but for others, he is the only one (!). I think that it was a side-effect of the local culture & some religious trends.I found, that the cult to Bolivar had an important milestone, when a christian temple, in Caracas, was transformed into a cementery to preserve his sacred body: Legal Profanity. It elevated him, by law, to the level of deity...
To insist that "Bolivar said * * * " or "The Liberator done * * * ", as a valid reason for inter-generational brainwashing, is clearly inmoral, insane, sick. Ende der Diskussion.

In Christmas is possible to attend in that church very beatiful concerts!
This Church placed in front of "Klosterstern", a site which has a "traurige Geschichte": 500 years ago, was not allow here to teach basic orthography to the girls, because it was "not catholic". One can read this history in a stonewall, in a square located in front of the U-1 station.
From September until November 2004, we were (photo) several times there to assist to the weekly "Taize" prayer, in preparation (vorbereitung) to the big meeting in Portugal: Kati, Tina, Iryna-Sonja, Maria, Wolfang, Daniel, Dana, Angela, Heather, Sigrid, Thomas Seifert and Magda...
