Churches are part of the traditional image of cities and towns. They are places of religious experience. Many people try to find help for their everyday problems. As testimonies of Christian faith and cultural-historical developments, they offer an invaluable architectural diversity. After the Second World War many churches were rebuilt. But in East Germany, the policies of the GDR government often prevented a comprehensive renovation. Building permits and material assignments were denied, so many sacred buildings today are in a threatening condition. The special commemorative letter commemorates the responsibility of the churches and of society to ensure the preservation and preservation of the heritage "church" and to preserve the historical memory.
