Kloster Sankt Augustinus, Catholic monastery in Lankwitz, Berlin, Germany
Kloster Sankt Augustinus is a Catholic monastery in Lankwitz featuring a chapel with artistic stained-glass windows designed by Erentrud Trost. These windows depict religious themes and scenes related to Mary.
The Marian Sisters began their work in Lankwitz in 1945, providing medical care and pastoral support to refugees following the war. The site was previously a military barracks called Maria Trost before being converted into a monastic community.
The monastery functions as a local spiritual center where the community gathers for services and prayer. It shapes the religious life of the Lankwitz neighborhood through its daily presence and regular activities.
The monastery is located on Gallwitzallee in the Lankwitz district and belongs to the Archdiocese of Berlin. Visitors should know that this is an active religious community where prayer and worship shape daily life.
The chapel was consecrated only in 1996, decades after the sisters arrived at the site in 1945. This gap shows how the monastery gradually took shape from the remains of its military past.
