Background-
information
Our chapel is a place of peace, contemplation and encounter – in the middle of Berlin's lively center. Here you can find silence, experience a moment of faith or simply leave everyday life behind. The focus is on a representation of the cross by the sculptor Frank Lipka, which is deliberately open in design. It invites you to connect the mystery of faith with your own experiences. The interplay of light, space and art creates an atmosphere that encourages reflection and letting go. Whether for personal meditation, for devotions or joint prayer – the chapel is open to all guests.
The theology of the cross reminds us that faith and hope often grow where life shows its fractures. It invites us to discover God's work in the imperfect and to find meaning in compassion with other people. The chapel in the Dietrich Bonhoeffer House takes up this idea: it is not a place of horror, but of confidence – a room in which suffering and hope, doubt and trust can coexist. Those who linger here can find new perspectives – on God, on life and on themselves.
