Missionshaus St. Augustin, Ethnographic museum and monastery in Sankt Augustin, Germany

The Missionshaus St. Augustin complex includes multiple research institutes, a theological library with 250,000 volumes, and administrative offices for missionary activities.

Founded in 1913, the building served as a military hospital during World War I and was later confiscated by the National Socialist regime in 1941.

The Anthropos Institute, established in 1931, conducts research in ethnology and linguistics, publishing findings through its journal distributed internationally.

The facility houses 80 missionaries from 15 different countries who engage in pastoral work, research, administration, and theological studies.

A ten-meter statue of Christ, transferred from Prosper Hospital in Recklinghausen, stands on the grounds since 2009 overlooking the surrounding area.
