Connecting Cultures Together

Discover workshops, readings, film nights, and cultural gatherings that unite Palestine and Germany.

Another day will come, a feminine one With transparent metaphor in perfect form Diamond colors like a honeymoon so sunny and flowing In gentle shadow. No one longs for suicide or Emigration. Far from the past, everything is natural and true, all things are one with their first qualities.

Being Christian in Palestine a breaking point for faith

September 27, 2026
12.30-15.00
Allerweltshaus

Dear Sir or Madam, dear friends,

Café Palestine Colonia invites you together with the Cologne–Bethlehem Twinning Association, Pax Christi Cologne and the Catholic Adult Education Centre Cologne.

The theologian Ulrike Kurbjeweit-Merizian will introduce the topic and discuss, among others, the following questions:

“How can we speak of God when Christians in Palestine experience violence and oppression every day?”

“What does worldwide church solidarity mean when Palestinian Christians feel abandoned by parts of global Christianity?”

“What political responsibility do Western churches bear when they equate the State of Israel with the biblical people of Israel or legitimise its politics theologically?”

About Cafe Palestine Colonia

We are a cultural center in Cologne celebrating the connection between Palestinian and German culture.

When Palestine is discussed in Germany, usually only the tragic fate of Palestinians is addressed. That Palestinians also have a rich culture, with literature, painting, music and much more, is hardly known to the German public.

Why Café Palestine Colonia?

Café Palestine Colonia has made it its mission to bring Palestinian cultural and artistic backgrounds to the forefront.
