DEK Hanover 2025

Guided tours, lectures and talks at Villa Seligmann


Description

Villa Seligmann is an external venue for the German Protestant Church Congress Hannover 2025 with its own program.


1,500 events at over 60 locations in Hanover. Over 1,200 singers, over 500 initiatives in the Market of Opportunities at the trade fair and 650 discussion guests from Germany and abroad. Up to 100,000 people are expected to be inspired by the Kirchentag. For five days, the host city of Lower Saxony will be home to the unique melting pot of social dialog, questions of faith and cultural highlights that characterize church congresses.

In addition to thousands of socially committed people, federal ministers, heads of business associations and companies, activists, church leaders, representatives of social organizations and well-known names from science, culture and the Internet will also be taking part.

In view of the date of the event around the expected formation of a new federal government, one focus will be on the joint search for a stable democratic basis.

All information about the Kirchentag and the program can be found on the official Kirchentag website.


Exclusively for visitors to the Kirchentag, Villa Seligmann offers a specially designed program in the thematic areas: Hanover’s Jewish cultural heritage, history, music, Jewish religion, art and Jewish-Christian themes.
