Holy Cross Church, Frankfurt-Bornheim
The Holy Cross Church (German: ''Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche'') is a Catholic church in the Bornheim district of Frankfurt am Main (Germany). It is similar in design to the ''Frauenfriedenskirche'' (''Church of Our Lady of Peace'') in Frankfurt-Bockenheim. It was built by Martin Weber from 1928 to 1929, on a rise then known as ''Bornheimer Hang''. The church is an unusual example of interwar modernism as sacred Bauhaus architecture. The church was finally completed on 25 August 1929 and handed to the Catholic congregation of Bornheim. It was damaged in the Second World War, and afterwards rebuilt with money donated for this purpose. It is a branch church of the parish of St. Josef and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limburg. The diocese dedicated it from 1 August 2007 as the location of a ''Holy Cross - Centre for Christian Meditation and Spirituality''. The centre was directed from August 2007 until July 2018 by the Franciscan Helmut Schlegel OFM, who worked there until Ju ...

Interwar
In the history of the 20th century, the interwar period lasted from 11 November 1918 to 1 September 1939 (20 years, 9 months, 21 days), the end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second World War. The interwar period was relatively short, yet featured many significant social, political, and economic changes throughout the world. Petroleum-based energy production and associated mechanisation led to the prosperous Roaring Twenties, a time of both social mobility and economic mobility for the middle class. Automobiles, electric lighting, radio, and more became common among populations in the developed world. The indulgences of the era subsequently were followed by the Great Depression, an unprecedented worldwide economic downturn that severely damaged many of the world's largest economies. Politically, the era coincided with the rise of communism, starting in Russia with the October Revolution and Russian Civil War, at the end of World War I, and ended with the rise ...

Altstadt (Frankfurt Am Main)
The Altstadt (''old town'') is a quarter (''Stadtteil'') of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is part of the ''Ortsbezirk Innenstadt I''. The Altstadt is located on the northern Main river bank. It is completely surrounded by the Innenstadt district, Frankfurt's present-day city centre. On the opposite side of the Main is the district of Sachsenhausen. The historic old town of Frankfurt was one of the largest half-timbered towns in Germany until the extensive destruction in World War II with its around 1250 half-timbered houses, most of which date from the Middle Ages. It was one of the most important tourist attractions for Germany. The historic old town was largely destroyed by the air raids on Frankfurt am Main in 1944. The streets and the entire district are predominantly characterized by quickly and easily erected buildings from the 1950s and 60s. A handful of the most important historic buildings, churches and squares were restored or reconstructed, especially around the main ...

Medical Mission Sisters
The Medical Mission Sisters (MMS) is a religious congregation of women in the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in September 1925 with a goal of providing the poor of the world better access to health care. They were formerly known as the "Society of the Catholic Medical Missions." History The MMS congregation grew out of the experiences of Dr. Anna Dengel, who is originally from Austria. Dr. Dengel has served as a medical missionary to the poor of what was then Northern India (modern-day Pakistan) for several years. After months of traveling and giving talks about the conditions in India, and speaking with many members of the clergy, Dr. Dengel became convinced that only a group of Religious Sisters who had been professionally trained as physicians could reach these women. Such a project, however, was contrary to the canon law of the time, since it prohibited members of religious institutes from practicing medicine. Nevertheless, she drew up a Constitution for the Communit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Order Of Friars Minor
The Order of Friars Minor (also called the Franciscans, the Franciscan Order, or the Seraphic Order; postnominal abbreviation OFM) is a mendicant Catholic religious order, founded in 1209 by Francis of Assisi. The order adheres to the teachings and spiritual disciplines of the founder and of his main associates and followers, such as Clare of Assisi, Anthony of Padua, and Elizabeth of Hungary, among many others. The Order of Friars Minor is the largest of the contemporary First Orders within the Franciscan movement. Francis began preaching around 1207 and traveled to Rome to seek approval of his order from Pope Innocent III in 1209. The original Rule of Saint Francis approved by the pope disallowed ownership of property, requiring members of the order to beg for food while preaching.
