Wat-Thai-Tempel

The Wat-Thai-Tempel is a Buddhist sanctuary in Munich's Ramersdorf district located within a modern building from 1991. Inside are altars, statues, and ceremonial rooms arranged according to traditional Asian design principles.

The community originally gathered in Ingolstadt and later lived temporarily in Allach before finding its permanent home in Ramersdorf in 1998. The construction of the modern building enabled the community to practice their faith in a dedicated space.

This temple serves as a gathering place where followers come together to pray and celebrate traditional Buddhist festivals throughout the year. The spaces are decorated with colorful offerings and religious symbols that reflect the spiritual practices visible in daily life.

The sanctuary is located at Bad-Dürkheimer-Str. 14 in Munich and welcomes visitors interested in learning about Theravada Buddhism. Those wishing to attend meditation or religious events should check ahead about timing and participation guidelines.

The community follows the Theravada tradition, one of the oldest Buddhist schools that remains particularly widespread in Southeast Asia. This orientation differs in philosophy and practice from other Buddhist traditions commonly found elsewhere in Europe.
