Matthäuskirche remains: Dean Krieger plans to live lively community life!

Pirmasens, Deutschland - In Pirmasens there are new developments regarding the Matthew Church. The planned sale of the church was stopped for the time being. Dean Ralph Krieger, who heads the Protestant church district of Pirmasens, is now pursuing the goal of establishing a lively community life on the Kirchberg. This decision comes after intensive considerations of how the church can continue as a central part of the community.

The Dean expressed the desire that "the shop should hum". This means that the church should be revived without having to engage its own pastor. The focus is on promoting the church as a place of encounter and community activities. This idea could be an interesting turn in the use of the Matthew Church, which has long been in the glow of sales intentions.

steps to revitalize

To achieve this, various measures are planned. It is planned to offer events and activities, attract people and bring together the community. The Kirchberg could again become a lively center of social life in Pirmasens. In times when many churches fight with falling membership numbers, this is an approach that opens up new perspectives.

Warrior emphasized that it is important to address people and to involve them in the planning and implementation. The church is intended to serve as a platform that not only addresses religious aspects, but also cultural and social issues. The acceptance and interest of the parishioners play a crucial role here.

Further details about these initiatives have not yet been finally determined, but the community already shows interest in redesigning. This return to the roots could play an important role in the municipal identity and help to strengthen the sense of community.
