LSource 1 Lutheran Church [The Lutheran church] looks like a great college hall. There are no images, organs or crosses. The wall is leaded with lots of writings in German and passages from the Bible. There are two pulpits, one for the minister to preach from and another below for the man who leads the singing of the psalms. At certain prayers the people rose and clasped their hands, and at the name of Jesus Christ made a low bow. (Michael de Montaigne, a famous French writer who visited Augsburg in Germany in the 16th
century) 128

Catholic churches were richly decorated, especially when the Baroque-style became popular in the late 16th century and
17th century. The Baroque-style also influenced painting, music and sculpture.
