Midweek Meditation: Entropy
Ever notice how a freshly cleaned room descends into chaos within days? Or how your team’s momentum fades the moment you stop paying attention? Christoph explores why our spiritual lives work the same way—and what it takes to keep them from deflating.
Come Experience “Visible – Invisible” at the Freiburg Münster
Bavarian artist Elke Maier has just completed a thread installation of breathtaking simplicity and beauty in the Freiburg Münster. Now through 28th September, you can experience it yourself.
Thousands of metres of fine white cotton yarn now weave through the cathedral’s nave—descending from the gallery, stretching across toward high altar. What makes it captivating: the threads seem to disappear and reappear depending on how sunlight catches them. As the sun moves through the day, different parts glow and fade. Visit at noon and you’ll see something entirely different from an evening visit. The installation invites you back again and again, at different times of day, to discover new perspectives. Sometimes a slight shift in where you stand reveals something completely new.
A related photo exhibition of Elke Maier’s earlier sacred space installations is on display at c punkt MÜNSTERFORUM (Herrenstraße 33), Monday–Saturday, 10 am–4 pm until 20th June. This shows her impressive work in other cathedrals across German-speaking Europe—well worth a visit while it’s still up.
Visit the cathedral’s website or explore the artist’s work at elke-maier.webnode.page.
Mark Your Diary: Special Events
Summer Party with the ACK – Sat, 13th June, 6.30 pm
You’re warmly invited to join the ACK and ecumenical partners across Freiburg for their annual summer gathering! This is a relaxed and social evening – the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and make new ones from different churches in the city.
The evening will start with a short service, followed by a barbecue in the garden at Ev. Matthäus-Kirche (Sundgauallee 31). There’ll be a salad buffet and drinks provided – just bring some food for the barbecue and a contribution to the buffet. If the weather’s kind, the evening will conclude around the fire pit with guitars and singing.
This is a great way to experience the ecumenical spirit that makes Freiburg’s church community so special.

Changed starting time & Ecumenical Münsterplatzservice — Sun, 14th June
For the third time running, Freiburg’s churches are holding an ecumenical service at the Münsterplatz under the theme “Himmel auf Erden” (Heaven on Earth). Around 1,500 seats are available on the south side of the cathedral. Join for a full worship service with hymns, prayer, and biblical reflection, accompanied by a young band, professional sound, and the unique atmosphere of gathering under open skies. Around 1,500 seats are set up on the south side of the cathedral.
Our ACF Sunday service will start at 10:30 am to allow time for those who want to attend the Münsterplatzservice. Everyone else is invited to our Shared Lunch at church after our 10:30 am service. Please bring some food for the buffet.
