As an airport chaplaincy, we want to give comfort and confidence to people who are traveling by air and rail, who work here permanently or who are in transit at the airport for only a short time. We offer spiritual guidance and support for people, especially in life crises.
The Protestant airport chaplaincy has been at Frankfurt Airport for 50 years. Our chapel and prayer rooms can serve as an oasis and refuge from the daily rush for everyone. We will be happy to give you a personal blessing for your journey. We also welcome you to our church services and prayers, as well as concerts and meditative retreats.
The door of the airport chaplaincy is open to everyone - travelers, employees, visitors.
Contact the airport chaplaincy:
- if you are in a crisis and would like to talk to someone confidentially or need help
- if you would like to make use of a church service
- if you need a word of comfort or support
