Looking from the altar towards the organ, which is high overhead and has open panels with religious scenes that cover the pipes when closed. Below it is a roundel window. The walls and ceiling are the familiar white with prominent brown ribbing/vaulting, and there are two rows of pews running from the foreground almost to the (organ) wall.

Saint Ulrich and Afra, you absolute fool.

Who abbreviates Saints as SS, and especially for a German church? Smh

No idea what I am looking at exactly, but SS Ulrich sounds suspicious.
