Akanthus is an organization that deals with the planning and execution of different cultural events in the Heili-Kreuz-Kirche and the Passionskirche. Both churches were extensively redeveloped throughout recent years and have been deliberately opened to wordly events ever since.

Through a contemporary use of the location, which still lives up to its expectations, Akanthus seeks to keep churches as part of a cultural heritage. Simultaneously, the audience has the unique possibility to experience the special charm of the holy locale.
