Berlin Plans 'House Of One,' APlace Where Jews, Muslims, AndChristians Will Pray Under TheSame Roof

A rabbi, an imam, and a pastor are planning to pull off an interfaith miracle in the

heart of Berlin, Germany by creating a sacred space for three religions under one roof.

The House of One (http://house-of-one.org/en)will be a shared place of prayer and

learning for the city's Christian, Muslim, and Jewish communities that celebrates the

commonalities of the religions longest associated with Berlin. On Tuesday, it came one

step closer to becoming a reality with the kickoff of a crowdfunding campaign,reports

The Local. (http://www.thelocal.de/20140604/one-house-of-worship-for-three-

religions-berlin)

The unusual project was initiated by Gregor Hohberg, a Protestant pastor. He is joined

by Rabbi Tovia Ben-Chorin and Imam Kadir Sanci. "Berlin is the city of the peaceful

fall of the Berlin Wall and the peaceful coexistence of believers from different faiths they yearn to understand each other," Hohberg told The Independent.

one--a-church-synagogue-and-mosque-9507002.html)

The chosen site on Museum Island (http://www.visitberlin.de/en/spot/museum-

island)is rich with history (http://house-of-one.org/en/idea), housing the remains of

Berlin's earliest church, the Petrikirche, and a Latin school which dates back to 1350.

When archaeologists excavated the area in 2009, they "quickly agreed that something

visionary and forward looking should be built on what is the founding site of Berlin,"

Hohberg says.

The organizers are planning to finance the 43,500,000 project entirely through

crowdfunding, (http://house-of-one.org/en)with one brick costing just 10. A

symbolic first brick was handed over on Tuesday to start the process. According to The

Local, (http://www.thelocal.de/20140604/one-house-of-worship-for-three-religions-

berlin) construction will begin in earnest once the first 10,000,000 is raised.

Designed by architect Wilfried Kuehn, the building will house a separate church,

synagogue, and mosque under one roof, with all prayer spaces leading to a common

room where the congregations can socialize, reports the Times of Israel.

(http://www.timesofisrael.com/berlin-prayer-house-unites-jews-christians-muslims/) The planners decided to make space for individual places of worship rather

than simply a common prayer room in order to attract more worshippers.

Sanci hopes the project will normalize relations between people of diverse

backgrounds. ""We want our children to have a future in which diversity is the norm,"

he told The Independent.

Ben-Chorin sees it as a place to heal old wounds without forgetting them. "Berlin is the

city of wounds and miracles," he told The Independent. "It is the city in which the

extermination of the Jews was planned. Now, the first house in the world for three

religions is to be built here."
