[HIGHLIGHTS] Potsdam: Chapel inaugurated in the tower of the Garrison Church

Chapel inaugurated in the tower of the Garrison Church in Potsdam on Easter Monday. The Protestant church inaugurated the chapel in the new tower.

Opponents of the project call it a symbol of militarism. Around 250 people protested in front of the garrison church against the use of additional funds for the reconstruction of the church. The garrison church was badly damaged during the Second World War and was blown up in 1968 at the behest of the GDR leadership. The dedication of the Nail Cross Chapel was broadcast live on the Internet.
