Glaube in Potsdam

In the year 1685, the Great Elector issued the “Edict of Potsdam,” which has been fundamental for Potsdam’s self-conception as a city of tolerance and religious freedom. But what does it mean for the people of Potsdam today? Whom do they believe in – and why? In the series Glaube in Potsdam (Faith in Potsdam), journalists of the Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten reveal the religious diversity of their city. By opening the doors to the religious groups in town to tell the story of each of them, this book portrays Potsdam’s believers and illustrates how they effectuate life in the community and city. A short profile of each parish and congregation as well as the so-called “Questions of faith,” answered by a member of each community, complete each documentary. With this work, in which these documentaries are collected including portraits, photos and community data, the Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten created a unique insight into the religious life of the state capital of Brandenburg, Germany.
