In Solingen, following the tragic knife attack that resulted in three casualties, a substantial crowd gathered at a nearby church for a commemoration service. The attendance was considerable - additional seating had to be brought in at various points. "We're feeling our inadequacy and loss of control in these days," expressed Pastor Friederike Höroldt. "However, we're seeking camaraderie. We're seeking comfort. That's why we've gathered here together."**
