The reconstruction of the Dresden Frauenkirche has made the church a global symbol of peace and reconciliation. Everyone is warmly invited to take in the message of this church – building bridges, living reconciliation, strengthening faith. The main mission of the two Frauenkirche ministers is to pass on this message of peace and reconciliation in the various forms of peace work carried out during daily life at the Frauenkirche.

Entering the main or lower church, or on the way to the Frauenkirche’s visitors’ platform, one becomes aware of gestures of reconciliation revealing the scars left by the healed wounds of destruction. Signs and symbols evoke the call for peace on Earth.

Dresden Frauenkirche is one of the world’s many Cross of Nails Centres. The Coventry Cross of Nails stands on the altar as a symbol of reconciliation and new beginnings.
