The church in Ermershausen was dedicated to Saint Peter. Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he, along with his brother Andrew, was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men." According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two-millennia-long line of popes—currently Leo XIV—follows his succession. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted holding two keys. This attribute refers to the biblical passage in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). Peter, along with Paul, is also known as the "Prince of the Apostles"; their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

A beautiful old building with a fire bell, next to the ruins.

In the Jewish faith, cemeteries are real "resting places for eternity" - quite different from what is usual in Germany (and many other countries), for example, where graves are only "bought" for a limited period of time, say 20 years, and then fall into disrepair. Incidentally, men are asked to wear a head covering when entering a Jewish cemetery - provided it is open to the public - as a sign of respect for our "older brothers in the faith" (quote from Pope John Paul II).

There is a plaque in front of the cemetery in memory of the Jewish community. Thank you to the people who make sure that it is not forgotten!
