Carving
In the Jakobikirche in Lübeck (Old Town Island), there are some church pews with fold-up seats. Curious as I am, I folded up a seat and found this carved head.
The staff in the church were not aware of these carvings until then, as the seats are usually folded down.
The Jakobikirche has always been the church of sailors and at the same time a museum for the remains of the former four-masted ship "Pamir." Not far away lies the intact sister ship "Passat" in Lübeck-Travemünde.

Schnitzerei
In der Lübecker Jakobikirche (Altstadtinsel) finden sich einige Kirchenbänke mit hochklappbaren Sitzen. Neugierig wie ich bin klappte ich einen Sitz hoch und fand diesen geschnitzten Kopf.
Das Personal in der Kirche wusste bis dahin noch nichts von diesen Schnitzereien, da die Sitze normalerweise heruntergeklappt sind.
Die Jakobikirche war schon immer die Kirche der Seefahrer und gleichzeitig Museum für die Überreste des ehemaligen Viermasters "Pamir". Nicht weit entfernt liegt das unversehrte Schwesterschiff "Passat" in Lübeck-Travemünde.
