The aim of the initiative is to supplement existing support services and promote communication regarding events and leisure programs. This is intended to give ERASMUS students in particular the opportunity to get to know more German students, take part in leisure activities with their mentors from the buddy program, and present their own culture at a variety of cultural events while getting to know German culture better.

The Chaplaincy is open to everyone who is interested to talk about God and the world or simply wants to take a look beyond their own nose.

We invite young people from all over the world to be a part of our community and share food, faith and culture.

Every Wednesday evening we celebrate Mass, have dinner and enjoy community. Often, we have interesting people as guests for talks on and discussions about a variety of topics. At the Chaplaincy, you can rediscover, live and develop your faith together with other young Christians. It is a place to meet people, to find friends and to celebrate at. It is a place that can become home away from home.
