In 1571, King Johan III of Sweden granted the Germans the right to form their own congregation. This significant event marked the beginning of the German Church's long-standing presence in Stockholm. By 1607, the Germans were given exclusive rights to an original church cottage, which had previously been shared with the Finnish-speaking parish. This arrangement allowed them to establish a dedicated place of worship.10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

This significant historical event is symbolically represented through the sculpture, highlighting the struggle between Sweden and Denmark.
