Salvatorskirche of Strelzen

In the Arramverse, the most historic site in the Nuevemesten (New City) of Strelzen. It is located on the west side of the great Rodolferplaz though it precedes the laying out of the square and its apsidal east end protrudes into it. From Henry in High Politics we learn that the church was aligned along the Roman road (now Lindenstrasse) that originally ran from Modenehem eastwards to Kesarstejne across the plateau above the Starel on which the Nuevemesten was developed. According to legend the first church was established on the site where Duke Tassilo’s body rested for the last stage of its journey from Ebersfeld, where he died, to his burial place on the hill of the Altstadt. Though some medieval features survive in the clergy house and chapter buildings to the north of the church, what is currently to be seen is almost entirely Rothenian baroque of the reign of Duke Rudolf V, who had it rebuilt when he developed the Neustadt. There are two Elphberg burials in the church. Duke Jan Elphberg of Mittenheim, younger son of Duke Rudolf lies in front of the apse. King Maxim I and Queen Helge lie in the crypt below the high altar, where they were reburied in 1998. President Marcus Tildemann, the king's friend, also lies in the crypt, further west. The Salvatorskirche is a collegiate chapter church of several canons under an Archpriest and is the principal church of the Nuevemesten. It was revealed in 2001 that the Crown of Tassilo had been concealed in the church under the Republic and Horvath's dictatorship, when it was produced by the chapter on King Rudolf VI's first entry into his capital to scenes of deep emotion,
