Finkenwalde

Finkenwalde is a small village in northeastern Germany, located near Szczecin. It gained historical significance as the site of a secret seminary established by theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the 1930s. The seminary provided training for Christian pastors during a period when the Nazi regime aimed to control religious institutions. Finkenwalde's role in religious resistance made it a symbol of courage and faith. Today, it is remembered for its connection to Bonhoeffer's efforts to uphold religious integrity and oppose oppressive ideology, reflecting themes of faith, resistance, and historical importance in Germany.
