About Berlin

Berlin, the capital of Germany and Europe’s second-largest city, is home to over 3.8 million residents. Shaped by its complex history, Berlin lies in the heart of what was once East Germany, one of the least religious regions in the world. Often called "the atheist capital of Europe," only about 1% of Berlin’s population is estimated to have a personal faith in Jesus.

The city’s multicultural landscape is vibrant and ever-evolving, with over one million residents of foreign origin from more than 180 countries. High rates of migration from the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe further enrich its diversity. As a hub of global influence and a crossroads of cultures, Berlin plays a strategic role on the world stage.
