- Title
Die Potsdamer Garnisonkirche: Wiederaufbau zwischen militärischer Traditionspflege, protestantischer Erinnerungskultur und Rechtsextremismus.

- Abstract
The project of rebuilding Potsdam's Garrison Church goes back to an initiative by German officer Max Klaar and the Traditionsgemeinschaft (Tradition Association) Potsdamer Glockenspiel, who presented the city of Potsdam with a reconstruction of the glockenspiel of the church in 1991 and subsequently advocated successfully for the rebuilding idea. After initial rejection, the Protestant Church has supported the project since 2000. Despite protest within the church, it was decided to go for an externally faithful and seamless reconstruction in view of the potential donors. In 2017 the foundation stone was laid for the replica of the church steeple. The project is now mostly paid for from federal funds and splits the society of the city of Potsdam to date.
