The Frankfurt Germany Temple is the 41st operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The temple has a total of 24,170 square feet, four ordinance rooms, and five sealing rooms. The temple serves Latter-day Saints in Germany, Luxembourg, northern France, and Slovenia. The temple in Freiberg, Germany was dedicated in June 1985.
In 1914 there were 200 Latter-day Saint missionaries in Germany. When World War I began, the missionaries had to leave. At the outbreak of World War II, the missionaries again had to be evacuated. But, amidst war and turmoil, the members remained valiant and continued to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Beginning in 1968, Germany was visited by Church leaders. Each time the leaders would visit, they grieved over the fact the members could not enjoy the blessings of the temple. But they were promised once in 1968 and again in 1975, that "if they remained true and faithful to the commandments of God, that the blessings of the temple would be theirs."
After much prayer and fasting by members of the Church in Germany, the announcement of a Temple was announced in 1981. The proposal to build a temple in Friedrichsdorf, which is nine miles north of Frankfurt, brought intense opposition from local religious leaders. LDS leaders tried to clear up the misconceptions by providing information about the Church. Church representative Immo Luschin asked councilmen to watch a film about the Latter-day Saints. They agreed, and all the misconceptions were clarified and public support for the temple increased.
