history

The community was established at Easter 1955, when Vera von Trott zu Solz , a sister of Adam von Trott , and the theologian Hans Eisenberg had expressed their "commitment" with another sister and a brother. The impetus for this step towards common commitment came from the contact with the young communities of Taizé , France and Grandchamp , Switzerland.
