2000 Jahre Christentum

The 2000 Jahre Christentum is a bronze column that displays monumental scenes from the history of religion. The reliefs are arranged in chronological order and together form a narrative sequence of moments important to understanding Christian development.

The monument was created as a gift from the Richard Borek Foundation and installed in 2006 at Ruhnäutchenplatz. It marks a reflection on two millennia of religious history in Europe.

The column displays scenes from Christian history that visitors encounter as they walk past it. It reflects how Christianity shaped life across Europe over many centuries.

The column stands centrally in the city and is easy to reach on foot. The area around it is well accessible, so visitors can view every angle of the monument.

At the top of the column are three rings that allude to Lessing's Ring Parable and connect different world religions together. This symbolic representation shows a concept of religious tolerance and mutual understanding.
