With the BIENEN-GARTEN-KIRCHE in Roldisleben, an ecclesiastical monument in the rural area is opened for an extended use. Our commitment promotes encounters and identity building as well as the exchange of experiences, cultural, ecological and religious knowledge.

The focus of the project is the development of the garden and building of the church "St. Peter and Paul" at Roldisleben beyond the purely worship use for the benefit of the village community and as an attractive focal point for the whole region.

The implementation focuses on a wide variety of cultural offerings as well as educational mediation and scientific exchange. In the background is an extensive, multi-year overall project. In the end, the church and the church garden are to form a space that promotes a sense of community, fosters the formation and transmission of tradition, conveys cultural-historical, ecological and religious knowledge and invites reflection.

A swap meet for regional products ties in with this. In addition, an artistically designed garden is being created with display beds and plants that tie in with Christian cultural history. A meditation room is located in the church. There are regular coffee services and guided tours. In the garden, experience and sensory stations are set up to deal with the topic of bees.

The Bee-Garden Church achieved the status of a model project in the project "City-Country: Church 2017" by IBA Thuringia and the Protestant Church in Central Germany. The Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture funded the construction of the "Bee Bell" pavilion. The project group of about 15 people realized a meditative space in the church tower.
