Religionen in Frankfurt

Rundgang durch die Westend-Synagoge

Why are there so many religions? How do people search for the divine? Is there something that unites all religions?

On our journey through and around Frankfurt, we meet knowledgeable experts who explain their faiths to us, from Judaism to Islam, from Buddhism to Hinduism. We get to know places of worship, temples and holy sites, take part in religious festivals and gain an insight into various religious and cultural traditions. The aim is to promote exchange between people of different religious traditions.

In cooperation with the Protestant Parish Office for Interreligious Dialogue in Frankfurt, the Department for Interreligious Dialogue of the Jewish Community of Frankfurt, the Catholic Adult Education Centre in Frankfurt and the Islamforum in Frankfurt e.V.

Course number: 0800-04
