Meaning and Spirituality: Prayer for Protection and Preservation

Amidst silence, reflection, and communal prayer, a faith experience unfolds that carries readiness for service and responsibility before God. At the center are liturgical readings, psalms, and free prayer for emergency services, families, and the city.

Place with History: Salinenkapelle as a Spiritual Resonance Room

The Salinenkapelle (1630–1631) is a gem of the city church of Traunstein. Its cross-shaped central building without supports opens a clear view to the altar; the altar painting and saint figures refer to the roots of faith and the salt tradition. This spiritual atmosphere deepens the feeling of community and makes the liturgy tangible.

Experience Community: Faith, Volunteer Work, and City Church

Supported by the City Church of Traunstein, the Word Service connects theology and lived practice. The Volunteer Fire Department performs its service voluntarily and free of charge – the communal prayer is an expression of gratitude, plea, and blessing for a safe Traunstein.
