Market church: refreshing shelter in the summer heat

a place of refreshment in the heat

With the rising temperatures, the market church in Hanover becomes an indispensable retreat for people who suffer from the oppressive heat. City superintendent Rainer Müller-Brandes explains the offer: "It is hot. We offer a cool shelter and water for refreshment for the people who add the heat the most."

opening times of the market church for needy

The market church has decided to open its rooms as a place of recreation for heating plagues. Here are the specific opening times:

• Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
• Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
• and Sunday from 9.30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The special architecture of the Marktkirche

Another advantage of the market church is its construction. With walls that are up to five meters thick in some places, the building not only offers a pleasant temperature, but also acts as a protective hut against the extreme weather conditions. The thick walls contribute significantly to the cooling of the interiors, which is particularly advantageous during the hot months.

meaning for the community

This offer of the market church is not only a short -term measure against the summer heat, but also shows holistic support from the community. By making its space and resources available, the parish helps to promote the well -being of people in the area. Such initiatives can make a big difference in the life of those affected and strive to reduce social isolation in difficult times.

The market church thus becomes a symbol of compassion and community feeling, at a time when many people rely on help.
