Too Much Room For Interpretation



On my home from work yesterday - a near 10-hours-workday, btw, means:
I got loads of work and can build up hours for free days, yay!

Well, on my way home I found this mural.
Just it´s no real mural (or is it) - it´s a container, the Tetzel-Kiste.



2017 is dedicated to the religious reformation 1517.
Now, being into science not religion this leaves some huge room for interpretation. Wiki says about Johann Tetzel: "Tetzel was known for granting indulgences in exchange for money" - hence this mural celebrates cheating?



Is this the way the church represents itself (still)?

Or is this the way to reach the young generation?



I´m really confused but take the mural as a fun way to represent Alte Waage.
Religion... always confusing to me.

What I did not see in the pitch-dark morning...



Wee, that really was some storm for this young autumn!

It's not always easy to figure out the meaning behind the murals.
You had a storm there? Have a nice weekend Iris.

That´s true, Sami, some murals are difficult.
Yes, quite a storm. Some trains are still not running.
Have a nice weekend, too!
