In the tradition of the hunger cloths, a work by Michael Morgner covers the altar of the cathedral. This reflection on Jesus' path to the cross has had an effect on our timeline with this artistic intervention. His artworks created as altarpiece wrappings become part of the liturgy of the churches on the one hand, and on the other hand they are freely accessible to the public.
