Room of Silence

A Room of Silence was established at Leibniz University Hannover in mid-January 2013. The Room of Silence, available for use by any member of the university, is a place for relaxation, prayer and meditation. Although it is not specifically a place of worship, all religious groups are welcome to use the Room of Silence.

The Room of Silence is the ideal place for those seeking a quiet retreat. Consideration and acceptance of others are basic prerequisites. To ensure that the Room of Silence is used as envisaged, a number of rules have been established. These are available below.

Advisory Council

From its inception to its opening, the “Room of Silence” was supported by a team responsible for its design and organisation. Team members continue to be at hand and look after the room.
