Cultural church
"Kulturkirche" is a new word created by those responsible for the church and is not used uniformly. Sometimes there is also talk of “art station” or more generally of “themed church” . In German-speaking countries, it is understood to be a church that is used temporarily or only for social or artistic purposes. The ambiguous word is used to designate both churches which, in addition to cultural use, continue to be used for church services, as well as secular church buildings.
