Description For me it's strange, that a sign of pentagram is on a wall of a church. I asked our guide but he didn't know nothing special.
The photo is creepy, just a fact.

Place: Hannover, GERMANY

Good Picture but also what i found creepy is the inverted pentagram and the star of david what does this mean for a Country like Germany to be Catholic and have these 2 symbols on a chruch?

If I may, I could explain at least a part of it: This is a Lutheran church, not a Catholic one. Although it once was, before the reformation.
Rumours go that this church had been erected on the ground of some Pagan ritual site, but there's no real evidence.

The pentacle is for drawing down the celestial powers to earth as they explain.
The "Star of David" in this case may be something else: A hexagram or "Solomon's seal" to banish evil.

But, yes, indeed, it's kind of weird to find those symbols on a church tower, anyway.

well as far as I remember it isn't connected to satan in any way but used to be an important symbol in their early religion... anyway still creepy right?
