Pastor at the garrison church tower: Prevent right-wing extremists. The Protestant church wants to do peace work and democracy education by operating the church tower.
Opponents of rebuilding the tower in a baroque shell see the historic building as a symbol of militarism. They also refer to the historic “Day of Potsdam” in March 1933, when Reich President Paul von Hindenburg shook hands with the new Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler in front of the Garrison Church. On Easter Monday the simple chapel, which can accommodate around 100 guests, will be put into service for a service.
