Das Bedürfnis, die Karwoche liturgisch auszugestalten, hat ihren Ursprung einmal in den lutherischen Andachten der Passionszeit mit ihren Höhepunkten des Abendsmahls am Gründonnerstag und der Gottesdienstes am Karfreitag.- The desire to give a liturgical structure to the Holy Week originates from the Lutheran devotionals during Passiontide, with its highpoints in the eucharist on Maundy Thursday and the service on Good Friday.
