Das Buddhistische Haus
Das Buddhistische Haus (engl.: the Berlin Buddhist Vihara, literally ''the Buddhist house'') is a Theravada Buddhist temple complex (Vihara) in Frohnau, Berlin, Germany. It is considered to be the oldest and largest Theravada Buddhist center in Europe and has been declared a National Heritage site.
==History==
The main building was designed by the architect Max Meyer for Paul Dahlke, a German physician who had undertaken a number of trips to Ceylon prior to World War I and become a Buddhist. It incorporates elements of Buddhist culture and was completed in 1924.〔buddha-heute.de: (''Das "Buddhistische Haus" in Berlin, Frohnau'' (German) ), Retrieved 29 January 2012〕 Unter Dahlke's direction it became a center of Buddhism in Germany. After his death in 1928, the house was inherited by his relatives and Buddhists met in a house nearby. By 1941 Buddhist meetings and publications were prohibited by the Nazi government. After the war refugees lived in the quarters. The place deteriorated and was even considered for demolition, when Asoka Weeraratna from Sri Lanka became aware of its existence. In December 1957 he bought the building from Dahlke’s nephew on behalf of the German Dharmaduta Society (GDS). It was renovated at that time as a Buddhist temple complex and became the headquarter of the GDS.
Missionary monks, primarily from Sri Lanka, came to stay at the Haus that became the center for spreading the teaching of Buddha in western Europe. The temple is open to the public and was visited by about 5,000 people in 2006.〔
