Officials in the German city of Ulm are urging the public to stop urinating on the walls of Ulm Minster, the world’s tallest church.

According to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW), church officials said the constant flow of people urinating and vomiting on the walls of the church is eroding the sandstone base because of the salts and acids in the bodily fluid.

Bodily fluids undermining the church foundation. It’s like a slow-motion episode of the Exorcist.

According to Wikipedia it’s a Lutheran church; it was never a cathedral because a Bishop never established a residence there ...

Regardless, it’s a building used by a group of Christians to gather and worship God in their particular way. It deserves better than to be puked and pissed on.

They had a similar problem at hte Nashville Rescue Mission with people urinating on the walls. The smell of stale urine was unbearable. They couldn’t make the people leave because it was a public sidewalk. They finally moved to a different building with a private parking lot between the building and the sidewalk.

“According to Wikipedia it’s a Lutheran church;”

Since 1531. Before that it was Catholic.

Nothing that a little exposed electrical contacts along the base of the wall won’t solve. Oh, I don’t mean electrocuting them, just enough to perm their hair.

Yup. Sounds like Pittsburgh's South Side.
25 city blocks of bars and taverns, and public urination is the #1 problem.

Tends to happen when lots of young men drink lots of beer. I knew a fellow, eons ago, who was repeatedly cited for urinating in public. Too much beer, too small of a bladder.

put a cattle guard electrical wire around the base, when they pee on it, the appendage will look like a charcoal brickete.

Yep. A lot of my family resides around Ulm, and they behave like us, too. Never pissed and puked on a church, though.
