There are at least three reasons. First, it houses a jewel of art history: the Epiphany tympanum from the workshop of the city architect Madern Gerthener. Second, it remains the monastery church of the Capuchin friars and, as such, is not only an oasis of tranquility but also a place of social engagement—for example, through the daily breakfast served to the poor and homeless.
