About Us

A few handfuls of people from the neighbourhood

Who We Are

The Verein zur Erhaltung der Erlöserkirche Potsdam e.V. is no anonymous committee – it is a handful of people from the Brandenburger Vorstadt who have decided to take responsibility for their landmark. Neighbours, parents, committed people. Fifteen individuals who, in their free time, make sure this heritage endures.

Clear Roles

What we do – and what we do not do

Trust begins with naming your own role honestly.

What We Do

We pool support for the preservation of the Erlöserkirche – with a focus on the interior. We initiate, motivate, organise events and disclose what happens with every euro.

What We Do Not Do

Decisions about the building are made by the church parish, not the association. We provide impetus and offer advice – without putting ourselves in the place of those who bear responsibility for the building.

The Board

The Faces Behind It

Ten members carry the association – here the board introduces itself.

Our Approach

Transparent out of conviction

We disclose what we do – and what we do not do yet. Where plans are in place and where they are still maturing. This is not a PR strategy but a matter of principle: anyone who supports us should know at all times where their contribution goes. The board meets regularly, discusses openly and decides together which projects come next.

Whether a question about membership, an idea for the neighbourhood or simply a hello – we look forward to your message.
