Quite a nice treasury
This treasury is quite nice. Besides the regular often old churchly items, there are some special relics of saints, and a special crown and sword.

What a surprise
We didn't expected that in the middle of the indsutrial Ruhr region we will find such a museum. Usually we don't visit the museums of the church, we know pretty weel, that they have a lot. This time we made an exeption and it was worth to do. Wonderful golden, silver pieces, some were many hundred years old, excellent. My wife told me how modern were the 16 brooch made around 1400 witrh gold, email, silver, and gemstones.
