Wissembourg - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul

The border to Germany is just about a kilometer to the north and the Alsace had german and french periods over the centuries. So it is no wonder, that the most names carved around the portal of the former abbey-church "sound" german. These kind of graffitis are often done, when the churches are "unattended", what was e.g. often during the Wars of Religion or after the French Revolution. So it is surprising, that Mr. Vogt had the time to carve in his name so prominently already in 1783.
