Carmelo Regina Martyrum, Carmelite monastery in Charlottenburg-Nord, Germany.
Carmelo Regina Martyrum is a Carmelite monastery standing next to the Memorial Church Maria Regina Martyrum, offering living spaces and prayer rooms for the sisterhood. The grounds include a shop selling books, music, and handcrafted items from the sisters' workshop, along with a meditation garden featuring a labyrinth.
The monastery was founded in 1982 by Carmelite sisters from Dachau and opened in 1984 following consecration by Cardinal Meisner. It was established as a new settlement for this religious community in Berlin after their arrival from Bavaria.
The monastery serves as a space for quiet reflection where visitors of different beliefs can spend time together. The sisters structure daily life around prayer and work, creating an atmosphere that reflects their contemplative way of living.
The monastery is located in Charlottenburg-Nord and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors can browse the shop with handcrafted items and devotional goods, but should wear respectful clothing and respect the quiet nature of the space.
The sisters regularly hold conversations with students and young people without religious faith to discuss questions about the meaning of belief. These dialogues show how the community engages in exchange with society despite their contemplative lifestyle.
