TheHouse of One is anecumenical religious structure being built in Petriplatz, on Leipziger Strasse,Fischerinsel,Berlin,Germany. When completed, the building will be a house of prayer for three religions,[1] containing achurch, amosque, and asynagogue.[a] Colloquially, the building is called achurmosqagogue.[2]
The structure was designed byKuehn Malvezzi in theModernist style, and is being built on the site where St Peter's Church, (German:Petrikirche) a 13th-centuryProtestant church, the first in Berlin, was located from approximately 800 years. The church and associated square were heavily damaged duringWorld War II and the former church was subsequently demolished in 1964 by theEast German communist regime.[3]
The foundation stone was laid in May 2021. The project is expected to cost€47 million, of which the German Federal Government has provided €20 million, €10 million from the Berlin state government, €9 million via major donations, and the remainder through a broad community fundraising appeal.[4]
^Despite claims to the be the world's first building accommodating multiple faiths, theHouse of Religions in Bern, Switzerland, opened in 2014, and the Tri-Faith Initiative in Omaha, Nebraska, opened in 2020. TheTemple of All Religions in Kazan, Russia, and the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., were also under construction, as of February 2021.[2]
