About this audio guide
This guide to St. Maximilian, the Maxkirche in Düsseldorf's Carlstadt, starts with an eighteenth-century organ builder's contract and the odd items written into his fee. It follows the Franciscan friars who settled on the old citadel, the ground under their first church, and the brick hall that stands here now. Stand in the nave, where you can see both the columns and the west gallery.
