East-West Peace Church

Built by the Russian hermit Timofej Vasilyevich Prokhorov and his wife Natasha without a building permit in the 1950s, the church was destroyed in a fire on 11 June 2023.

The chapel was located in the Munich borough of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, south of the Olympic Lake at Spiridon-Louis-Ring 100.

[2] During World War II, Timofej said he had a vision of Mary,[3] in which he was instructed to move west from Russia to build a church there.

After protests from Munich citizens, and in favor of pre-Olympic peace, the Olympic site was planned further north, so that the church was preserved.

According to the current state of the investigation, the police assume as the cause of the fire the "presence of a technical defect in the installed electronics inside the church building".
