About this audio guide
This guide to the German Church, the Christinae Church on Norra Hamngatan in Gothenburg, is about a job rather than a building: the post of pastor to the city's German and Dutch traders. It starts in the autumn of sixteen twenty-three, when the congregation sent to Lübeck for a preacher, and follows the builders and craftsmen who kept the church standing through its fires. Best heard on the street side, where you can see the tower.
