The University Church Service

St. Nikolai's Cathedral in Greifswald; the image rights are held by the cathedral congregation.

The academic church services have been a set part of university life for more than 100 years, since winter semester 1890/91. The office of University Chaplain also has a long tradition at the University of Greifswald. 

Academic services have been an integral part of university life for over a hundred years, since the winter semester of 1890/91. The office of University Chaplain also has a long tradition.

On four Sundays during the semester, the ecumenical university services take place in St. Nikolai Cathedral. They are aimed in particular at the students and all members of the university, but also at the Greifswald public. The services are characterised by their special musical arrangements, sermons by various members of the university and other public figures, and lively student participation.

The Greifswald University Services are the responsibility of the University Chaplain, Prof. Dr. Tobias Braune-Krickau [de], the Institute of Church Music and Musicology, in person by Prof. Frank Dittmer [de] and Prof. Dr. Matthias Schneider, as well as the three Christian university congregations, ESG [de], KSG [de] and SMD.

A warm welcome to all!
