Churchgoers leave mass through a Gothic door, 1937

Through a pointed doorway in a whitewashed church wall, beneath a small niche, the men of the parish file out after mass in dark suits, loden jackets and knee breeches; hats come off and go back on, a young man in lederhosen and white stockings strides towards the lens, and a few women follow along the path between the gravestones. In 1937 Pius XI's encyclical Mit brennender Sorge had been read from Catholic pulpits across Germany on Palm Sunday.
