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.
