The Christophorushaus, which opened in full on June 1, 2000 and is sponsored by the Evangelical parish of Bobbau-Wolfen-Nord, is located in the prefabricated housing estate in Wolfen-Nord, a former social hotspot with 34,000 residents and now only around 7,000. The community and family center also houses a Protestant day-care center and the youth migration service (both sponsored by the Diakonie). It offers space for educational and leisure initiatives and is a contact point for church and non-church groups from the entire region. The Christophorushaus is a recognized family center in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
 

When in 1995 the parish church council of the Friedensgemeinde decided not to use any money from the regional church to expand the Friedenskirche, but instead to take over an empty daycare center in Wolfen-Nord, it was a big risk and at the same time a sign of confidence. Ever since Wolfen-Nord came into being, it has been the community's most ardent wish to have open doors for the 34,000 people and to work together for the good of the community. Despite numerous uncertainties and the demolition of numerous blocks in the vicinity of the house, one half was opened in 1996. The initiators received support from numerous individuals, from the Evangelical Church of Anhalt, the Union of Evangelical Churches, the Diakonie, the city of Wolfen, the district of Bitterfeld and the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

As part of the EXPO-2000 correspondence site, the Christophorushaus was further renovated so that in May 2000 a Protestant day-care center (run by the parish until 2019) and the community and family center could open on June 1 of the same year.
 

Various encounters, festivals, concerts, church services, family celebrations, counseling hours and other offers as well as various network projects (among others with late resettlers) have taken place in the Christophorushaus in Wolfen-Nord. Christians and non-Christians alike can feel the presence of God, whether they are always aware of it or not. Particular highlights are ten to twelve family services for the festival of the church year, in which many parents and grandparents of the kindergarten children as well as guests from the neighborhood take part. In 2020, the Christophorushaus Wolfen-Nord celebrated its twentieth anniversary on a small scale (corona pandemic).
 

In 2019 we were part of the "LAND:GUT 2019" project with "Bühne frei" - https://landgut-kulturgut.de/ . The aim of this is to focus on culture in rural areas, taking into account local cultural needs, and to support regional identity and individual initiatives. The project was initiated and carried out by the Cultural Office of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany. It was funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media via the “Federal Rural Development Programme”.
