Popular around Nsg Standortuebungsplatz Bei Büecke
The St. Pauli Church is somewhat hidden on the southern edge of the old town and surprises with its massive Gothic hall architecture and distinctive tower. Between half-timbered houses and quiet alleys, it appears as a calm counterpoint to the lively city center. Inside, old gravestones and the modern columbarium tell of centuries of Soest history – a short, atmospheric stop on any tour through the city.

One of the best bakeries in Germany, or so I've read. That might well be true – the baked goods are fantastic. If you can actually get any. An empty counter isn't unlikely. Try a Buchteln (sweet roll) as a snack!
