The Martin Buber House in Heppenheim is a historic yet vibrant place of Jewish-Christian dialogue. From 1916 to 1938, it was the home of the Jewish religious philosopher Martin Buber and his family. Today, it is the headquarters of the International Council of Christians and Jews (ICCJ) and a place for encounter, education, and exchange.

In the spirit of Martin Buber, we bring people together in conversation – about religion, history, and the questions of our time.

Lectures, readings, concerts, workshops, and educational programs invite people to discover new perspectives, engage in discussion, and foster understanding. We address the challenges of our time and create spaces for reflection and dialogue. In doing so, we are committed to combating antisemitism, racism, and populism, and to strengthening a democratic society.

Rooted in Heppenheim. Connected to the world.
