Neue Nachbarn In Schönwalde

by Rainer Steussloff

More than 400 refugees from the Middle East and Africa have found shelter in a small town in Brandenburg. Most of them are Muslims and rarely had peaceful contact with Christians. Many residents have joined together in the initiative "Neue Nachbarn in Schönwalde" (New Neighbours in Schönwalde). They try to get people used to the new environment. This includes games, German lessons and a visit to the local church. Here, common worship and concerts are often celebrated.
