On Saturday evening, more than 80 Christian communities opened their doors for the Night of the Churches in Hamburg. According to the organizers, a total of around 67,000 visitors attended the more than 250 events.
This year’s motto was: “What do you believe?” There was music, literature and comedy. Many visitors also came to events about faith and science on the DESY campus. “Hamburg experienced a wonderful night of churches! How wonderful that so many people accepted the invitation and visited Hamburg’s churches as special places. The program was great and incredibly diverse,” said head pastor and provost Martin Vetter.
