The narrow blue building was our drinking spot, Academicus bar. The tower is of St Elisabeth’s church – the place I found most spiritually evocative – sparse decoration and severe windows and side chapels but a very beautiful altar.

The twin-turreted cathedral itself left me unmoved despite the heroic endeavour of its rebuilding after WWII. All the other places I wanted to see where shut. The river Oder was looking very beautiful though. The red brick building linked by a kind of bridge has a legend attached – the ‘dumpling gate’.
