HER(R)BERGSKIRCHEN

The HER(R)BERGSKIRCHEN are sacred spaces. We expect our guests to act accordingly and treat the spaces respectfully at all times. Most of the HER(R)BERGSKIRCHEN are open to visitors and therefore remain as public spaces during the day. For this reason, overnight stays are usually only possible from 6:00 p.m. until 9 a.m. the following day. If you would like to stay longer than one day in a HER(R)BERGSKIRCHE, you may consult with the local hosts and arrange to leave your belongings in a secure location during the day.

The work carried out by the supervisors on site is done so on a voluntary basis.

The Service fees include the fees of the booking platform.

An overnight stay in one of the Her(R)bersgkirchen is currently only possible in the summer months because there is no heating in most of the churches and it is too cold in the winter.
