Leben statt Leere
About
This book aims to make a bold statement while also offering new perspectives. Secularization, individualization, pluralization, a break with tradition, a loss of trust, and a lack of interest in religion shape the daily life of Germany’s two major churches and the way they are viewed. The majority of the population is no longer Protestant or Catholic. And yet: With Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, the rhythm of our year remains shaped by Christianity, and the centers of our neighborhoods—whether cities, districts, or villages—are still marked by church buildings. Church steeples are and remain visual landmarks and define the skyline. The “church in the village” and in the city creates identity and a sense of home. It provides a center for everyone.
