Guided Story
Do you hear the gentle rustling of leaves overhead? That's Pastor-Niemöller-Platz inviting you in. Look around; see how the trees stand like old friends, watching over you. If you turn to the east, picture the grand Schloss Schönhausen just a short walk away. This area is rich with stories. Did you know the square is named after Martin Niemöller, a prominent theologian and anti-Nazi activist? He lived nearby and was a staunch advocate for freedom and justice. Take a moment to sit on one of the benches and soak in the atmosphere. In spring, when everything is in bloom, this spot is truly a gem. You might even hear the distant chime of the bells from the Frieden Church.
