Empty churches, new temples: Germany's growing religious diversity
Germany’s religious landscape is undergoing significant change as Christian membership declines, leaving many churches empty, while new and expanded places of worship for Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and Orthodox Christian communities emerge across cities like Erlangen, Berlin, and Frankfurt. Key developments include the planned largest Hindu temple in Germany opening in Berlin in 2026, new synagogues now present in all German state capitals, repurposed churches for Coptic Orthodox congregations, and occasional construction delays for some Orthodox projects due to local regulations.
