until the end of the cold war in one thousand nine hundred nine the priory lay within communist east germany i know fucker was superintendent of the effort lutheran church from one thousand nine hundred ninety three to nine hundred ninety four. it is a high film is only now more than a sung so the area here around what's called the renaissance courtyard he had just been rebuilt and it housed the event jellicoe preacher school. here that was one of our church institutions where young people without a university entrance exam could study for the ministry and does find the grounds for his own helmsley kit was very important for our church in young working people deciding to become pastors in an atheistic state at the comma most of them came here highly motivated and studied for four years if you go that was why this section of the priory was reconstructed time and is close to us it beat off the board on. the lutheran church purchased the entire augustinian priory in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine and started reconstructing it. the priory was turned into a church conference and c
