Paderborn Dom Paleogeology

Rochelle and I were walking through Paderborn on a nice Sunday stroll when I decide to have a closer look at the Sandstone used to build our cathedral when to our surprised we found fossils embedded in the wall!
We quickly started to take some photos of what we assumed were shells of  Brachiopoda fig1 and 
coral's fig 2

If anybody has any better clues then please do post below, I have also posted the location where you can view these yourselves the next time you are in town.
