First Freemason's lodge in Germany |
Moorweidenstraße 36 Hamburg, Hamburg 20146 +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
In 1737, the first German Freemason's lodge was founded in Hamburg. The Freemasonry is divided into various departments, but basically stands for humanity and tolerance, free from any denomination. The temple-like lodge building in Moorweise was erected in 1907-09 and bears some distinctive classical features. During the Nazi era, Freemasonry was forbidden and the building was used as a POW camp until being liberated by British troops in 1945. Nowadays, it once again serves as the home of the 'Stately Lodge of Lower Saxony'. Review © 2009, Wcities |
