history

In 1967 a large housing estate with over 2000 apartments was built on a piece of land between Scholzplatz, Glockenturmstraße, Heerstraße and Angerburger Allee, which is called the "Green Triangle". A parish base was to be built for church supplies. In March 1972 the parish council applied for the establishment of a new parish, which became independent on July 1, 1973 as the Evangelical parish "Green Triangle on Heerstraße". Your community center was built according to plans by Reinald Neumann and Peter Lehrercke and inaugurated on December 14, 1975. In 1985, the community named its community center “Hermann Stöhr House” after the evangelical pacifist and martyr Hermann Stöhr . In 2000 it merged with the Friedensgemeinde .
