I went to confession there, it is actually a very young church and its interior decoration feels quite spare.
A lot will have to change before the Germans have the will to finish it up right. Probably a few hundred years out.

The interior was probably stripped of all sacred imagery after the liturgy reforms following Vatican II.

Do you think so? I believe it was only complete in the late 1800s. There was decor, it just felt like it could have been improved. Doesn't feel totally finished the way a real ancient church does.

Almost all churches were intentionally stripped of sacred imagery, especially the high altars, after Vatican II. What justification they think they have for such a move I don't know.
