The church in Kingsbury was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles." Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * 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." In works of art, 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 shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19) * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime. Instead, he was converted later through the famous "Damascus Experience." His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. Such a sentence was a "privilege" under Roman law at the time (a quick death, not a long, painful agony like other forms of execution) reserved for the citizens of Rome.

Rivers and canals crisscross the country, as they were a crucial part of the transport infrastructure – especially in the early days of industrialization. Factories needed the delivery of raw materials in previously unknown quantities, and finished goods also had to find their way to traders. Many of the canals originated in this era. Later, rail and, even later, trucks took over the task of transporting goods. When building the artificial waterways, however, it was important to consider that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often located along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.
