Farewell to the papal coat of arms: Timo Schmoll fights at the Bonn Münster

Pope: Farewell to the Bonn Münster

The death of Pope Francis is a significant turning point for the Catholic Church and also has an impact on local churches, such as the Bonn Münster. Here the papal coat of arms, which was emblazoned above the main portal, became a symbol of the pontificate in the past 12 years. It is more than just a decorative element; It embodies the close connection to the universal church and the dignity of the head of the church.

The valet Timo Schmoll describes the challenge of taking off the coat of arms. The process requires precision and caution, since the sign is fastened at a height of five meters and cannot be easily solved. Despite its ease, it is a task that requires skill and a certain level of experience. The fact that the coat of arms kept numerous storms testifies to its robustness and the meaning that it has in the church environment.

With the decline in coat of arms, the farewell to Pope Francis is also symbolically carried out. His legacy will certainly continue to be discussed in both the Catholic Church and in broader society. Francis was known for his efforts to reform and a dialog -oriented approach that aroused the interest of many believers and influenced the World Church.

Pope Francis' legacy, both in theological and social issues, will continue to employ the faithful. The close connection between the World Church and the local community is reflected in the reactions of the members, while waiting for the new Pope to succeed. Farewell and new beginning shape this phase of change, which many expect in the coming weeks.

In the next few days, the Catholic world will witness a historical moment because the transition to a new Pope is imminent. The Bonn Münster and other important churches worldwide will follow these developments carefully. Removing the papal coat of arms is only a small but significant step in this large process of change.
