I used to pass this charity hospital chapel (Spitรคle Kirche) that’s been converted into a gallery space for local artists in Wรผrzburg almost on a daily basis while I was discovering the city.
This museum at the head of the Old Bridge over the Main below the
Marienberg Fortress, once dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers, always made me think of the courthouse that gets struck by lightning in
Back to the Future. The first instalment of the movie trilogy was released for US Independence Day weekend exactly three decades ago and the sequel travels forward from the 1985 of the characters’ past-present thirty years to our future now of 2015 (
21 October). Where are the flying cars I was promised? Maybe it really is like Alex P. Keaton said upon ordering his father to ask his mother out to the prom, “My name is Darth Vader; I am an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan.”
