The interior of the Church is open to the Pubhc from 9 a. m.- 12 noon, and from 2 — 6 p. m. The general impression given by the interior is not dissimilar to that of the Cathedrals of Reims, Bourges, Troyes and Paris, but cannot compare with that of the Cologne Cathedral, the choir and naves of which are much vaster. Beneath the raised choir is the crypt or graveyard, the existence of which is due to the Western custom of having in every church an imitation of the holy Tomb at Jerusalem. Entrance 40 Pfg. Apply to the beadle. The finely carved pulpit (executed by Hammerer, 1485) is the very one from which Geiler of Kaisersberg, thad talented clerical orator, delivered his discourses. The extensions of the side naves, dedicated to certain saints, are used as chapels. On the left hand side of the choir a stairway leads down to the St. John's Chapel, where the monument of Bishop Conrad, who laid the foundation stone of the Front in 129Q, is preserved. On one side in a narrow glass roofed court is the tomb of Erwin. In the Southern nave is a pillar, called the Angel pillar, richly adorned with statues. The astronomical clock, in the form of an altar, adorns the Eastern wall. This magni- ficent scientific chef-d'oeuvre has a long history behind it. The older clock, begun under Bishop John of Lichtenberg in 1352, had been set up on the opposite wall and marked the movements of the sun and moon. It possessed further a rich puppet-show, which daily and hourly repeated incidents taken from the gospel narratives. According to the legend, this clock was put out of order by a stroke of lightning, and in 1547 the council — 22 - of the free Imperial city had a new one executed, which however was not completed until 1574. This clock was destroyed in the revolution, and the remains may be seen in the Frauenhaus; the case however, executed and painted by Tobias Stimmer in 1874, contains the more recent clock, which is the work of the Strassburg clock- maker Schwilgue, The clock shows all moveable feasts, leap-years, the course of the planets, the phases of the moon, the eclipses of the two celestial spheres for all time, and sets itself automatically at 12 o'clock on the last night of the year. The puppet-show, which has been made more elaborate and perfect than formerly, performs daily at 12 o'clock. An angel strikes the first chime of each quarter. The four ages of man, the Infant, the Youth, the Man, and the Patriarch, add one after the other the 2^^ chime. Death strikes the hours, and a second Angel reverses the hour glass. On the stroke of 12, the 12 apostles move in procession past the Messiah, and bow before him; Christ raises his hand and blesses them, in the meantime the cock crows, and flaps its wings. Entrance to the astronomical clock at 12.15 (Central Europe time), at the South gate in the Castle Square. Entrance 20 Pfg. To ascend to the tower of the Cathedral (220 ft high) apply to the porter at the tower entrance. Admission to the platform (220 ft) 15 Pfg. „ „ spire 50 „ „ „ crown or turret (474 ft) M. 3.— The panorama which unrolls itself is magnificent, and in wet weather the Rhine Valley can be clearly — 23 — seen between the two mountain ranges, the Black Forest in the East, and the Vosges in the West. The Rhine, like a white streak, is visible flowing through the middle of the plain. The black specks to the North, denote the extensive forests of the towns of Hagenau and Bischweiler. In the South rises an isolated peak, it is the Kaiserstuhl, a volcanic formation. St. Thomas's Church. This church was founded by the saintly Florenz, Bishop of Strassburg in 670, reno- vated by Bishop Adeloch in 820, and promoted by him to be a collegiate church. A fire caused by a thunderbolt destroyed it in 1007. In 1013 it was rebuilt, and in 1144 once again burned to the ground, when Bishop Burckhardt saw to its restoration. The condition of the building in the 13'*' century was lamentable, until it was once again taken in hand, and restored by Henry IV, Bishop of Geroldseck. The nave of the church belongs to this period, but the Eastern tower was not built before 1300, and the choir only dates from the year 1348. In this church there are numerous monuments, the most conspicuous of which is the Mausoleum of Mar- shall Moritz. It is in marble and was executed at Louis XV's com- mand by the Parisian sculptor Pigalle, who spent 25 years on the work. The trophy4aden Marshall de- scends with unfaltering foot the steps leading from the altar to the grave. France, weeping, seeks to hold him back and keep away Death; who is opening the coffin for him. The two other figures represent Hercules and the God of war who holds his torch lowered to the earth. A pyramid-shaped slab stands behind the monument with an inscription in gilt letters. — 24 — In a niche of the choir the stone coffin of Bishop Adeloch is to be seen. The other monuments are those of Schopflin (d. 1771), of Prof. Oberlin (d. 1806), and of the historian Koch (d. 1813), the busts of Prof. Emmerich (d. 1820), Dr Reisseisen (d. 1828), and Dr Bruch (d. 1874). A simple inscription on a marble slab has been set up in memory of the famous Professor of Greek, John Schweighauser (d. 1830). In addition to these monuments the church con- tains a large number of tomb inscriptions, as well as two mummies, one of a young girl and the other of the Count of Nassau Saarwerden. The organ buih by Andreas Silbermann is also worthy of note. The Young St. Peter's Church, has been recently restored in the gaudy style of the later Middle Ages, after the plans and under the direction of the Architect Karl Schaefer, Professor in the Technical Institute at Carlsruhe. It offers the stranger a great deal that is worth seeing. The magnificent principal gate and like- wise the interior are, from a historical as well as an architectural point of view, well worth a close inspec- tion. Application should be made to the Sacristan (Entrance in the lane). — 25 — Public buildings. The Imperial Palace in the Kaiserpiatz to the North of the city is, next the University and the Cathedral, doubtless one of the most impressive edifices in Strass- burg. It was executed after the plans of the architect Eggert of Berlin and was completed in 1889. Facing the square is a large rectangular doorway supported by pillars; behind is a beautiful cirular building. A dome pierced by lofty arches rises above the doorway, and two bronze Heralds or Bannerbearers put the finishing touch to the top of the dome. It is open to the Public in Summer from 10 a. m. — 6 p. m. and in Winter from 10 a. m. — 4 p. m. On Sundays and Public Holidays : in Summer from 11 a. m. — 6 p. m. and in Winter from 11 a. m — 4 p.m. Entrance 25 Pfg. Opposite the Palace tho the right is the Council House, and to the left the Univ ersitii and S tqteJLdhrcmi . The latter is open on weekdays, for those visiting the reading rooms from 9 a. m. — 1 p. m. and 3—6 p. m. during the University vacations from 9 a. m. — 1 p. m.

The Library may be visited by strangers: Weekdays 2 — 3 p. m., Sundays and Public Holidays from 10—12 a. m. It is closed during Easter week, and during the last week in August for cleaning. There is no charge for the use of the library. The special conditions and regulations arc made known by the library committee. , — 26 — The new Post Office in the Hohenlohestrasse is a stately structure and worthy of notice. The work was superintended by the Post Office Architect Bettcher. The Fraicenhaus (The cathedral work shop) built in late Gothic and Renaissance style, dates in its present form from the year 1581. On the ground floor is a Museum of Plaster Mouldings, remnants of sculpture prepared for the cathedral, remains of the old clock, etc., etc.; a beautiful spiral stairway leads to the upper floors, where the archives, designs, and charters are preserved. The magnificent panelled hall and stained glasses should be visited. The Old Castle built by the Cardinal Prince of Rohan, Bishop of Strassburg, in the years 1728 — 1741, was purchased by the city administration in 1790, and later used as the Imperial Palace. In 1830 and 1848 it came again into the possession of the city, by which it was presented to the Emperor Napoleon III. in 1852. In its rooms the following are to be noted : a) The Gitij Art Gallery (Collection of pictures of Ancient and Modern masters. Engravings and Sculp- tures). Hours for visitors: Weekdays except Mondays, from 10 a. m. — 1 p. m. and 2 — 4 p. m. Sundays in the Winter months (October— March) : 1 a. m. — 1 2.30. p. m., and 2 — 4 p. m.

Admission free, Sundays 10 a. m, — 12.30 p. m., and Wednesdays from 11 a. m. — 12.30 p. m. The main building of the Unirersify, containing the Lecture Booms etc., which runs parallel to the Impe- rial Palace, attracts the attention of the stranger, both from a distance, and close at hand, by its statues of 36 , intellectual' giants in more than life size which line the wings of the structure. On entering, our admiration is excited by the glass-roofed courd and Hall, which is surroun- ded by colonnades, in which the busts of the Theologian Edward Reuss, and the Botanist Anton de Bary are conspicuous. Visitors who wish to view the interior should apply to the porter. Admission free.

Goethe lived at Xo. 36 Alter Fischmarld during his student days in 1770 — 1771. A bronze medaillon affixed to the front of the P' story records this. Simi- larly a memorial tablet has been affixed to the front of 37 Thomassfadeii to commemorate the meeting which took place in Sept. 1770 between Goethe and Herder who was then living in the old Inn ,,Thc Intellect". The Citadel contains a monument in honour of the Prussian Engineers and Pioneers who fell in the Franco-Prussian war. The Palace of the governor, formerly the Prefec- ture, was erected in 1870 by Judge Klinglin on the site of the old Jewish churh court yard. It was inha- bited by the governor of the Province from the year 1735 to the Revolution. — 80 — At the side of the larger structure there is a smaller isolated one, which contains the Archives of the department. The larger part of the buildings were burned down during the bombardment in 1870. The Maijors official resiiJence, completed in 1739, has been greatly improved and embellished since 1840, especially on the side facing the Broglie. Several rooms and offices suffered serious damage from the bombardment. The General Commando of the XV Army Corps was formerly the headquarters of the French 6"' Mili- tary Division, earlier still it was known as the Two Bridge court, built in 1754. The Tfieatre was built from 1805-1821 under the direction of HerrVillot, the city architect, but completely restored inside and out in 1854. A colonnade in Ionic style is divided by arched iron barred doors. The cornice over the colonnade is adorned by Muses, the work of Ohmacht. For the prices of the seats see page 15 — 16. The new Bailway Station in the West of the city is one of the most magnificent and serviceable traffic centres of the world, and likewise an ornament to the city, hi the Hall, the frescoes, the work of Prof. Knack- fuss, „As it was" and „As it is" are worthy of remark. The whole of the buildings were erected at the cost of 23 million Marks. From here trains go to Mulhouse, Bale, Molsheim Saverne, Paris, Lauterburg, Mayence, Kehl, Baden etc. 31 Antiquities. Wars and fires have pla^'ed such havoc in Strass- burg with buildings dating from early times, that it is remarkable that a few wooden houses of the 15"' cen- tury still survive. The most remarkable of these relics of the old private houses is in the Cathedral Square. It is called the House of Kammerzell. Other isolated wooden buildings of an earlier age are still in existence, for instance, in the Ferkel- markt, Kord u angasse, Kleinen Frankreich, Rabenplatz etc. etc. - 32 Tarif des uoittires de place.
