Sanctuary
Since the reopening, our altar has not been adorned with a magnificent altar cross, but rather a simple cross of nails welded together from three iron nails.
The Frauenkirche Dresden has been part of the international Cross of Nails Community since 2005. This global network of churches, institutions and places works for peace and reconciliation in close connection with the Cathedral of Coventry. In addition to the Frauenkirche, there are four other nail cross places in Dresden (Diakonissenanstalt, Kreuzkirche, Maria am Wasser and the Busmann Chapel). There are 50 members across Germany and over 200 members worldwide.
For the Cross of Nails Community, advocating for peace and reconciliation specifically means healing wounds of history, recognizing differences and valuing diversity, and creating a culture of peace. The crosses of nails have therefore found their place in locations where people take on the task of bridging old differences and pursuing paths of togetherness.
