05 Studio Kister
The Prayer and Learning House
of Three Religions in Wittenberg
Studio Master: Prof. Johannes Kister
In 2017 Wittenberg will celebrate 500 years of Reformation. Wittenberg stand with
Martin Luther and other thinkers of his time as Melanchthon or great artists such as
Lucas Cranach for the revolution in religious thinking. From how you look at it, splitting the Catholic Church or renewal, a new concept of individual self esponsibility
r
before God, is different. In fact, so that a new era has begun. Today, it seems as if a
new way of thinking the together of the religions has moved in. Therefore, just Wittenberg (offside the city of Berlin, where at Petriplatz an interreligious center will be
developed) is a place to explore a new dialog in a smaller scale thinking and practice
laboratory. At a central site in Wittenberg a new prayer and learning house for Christians, Muslims and Jews is to design. The studio will be accompanied by ‚Dessauer
Gespräche‘ on the topic: Sacred Spaces.
