How to find us

German-speaking Congregation of Edinburgh/Aberdeen

The present-day German-speaking congregation in Edinburgh dates back to 1947. Edinburgh is now the hub for the "extended parish" of Scotland and North-east England, and the minister for the region resides here. In 1995, Edinburgh and Aberdeen joined together as one congregation but services and events are still held in both locations.
