Though the pagoda with monastery and tower in Hanover undoubtedly is the central place of Vietnamese religious life in Germany, also smaller places of worship and veneration are of much importance. Here we find an ordinary middle class house in Barntrup, northern Germany. The house has been rebuilt to a Vietnamese temple or place of worship (Vietn. "niem phat duong"). The garden is styled with religious objects and buildings, also for example a bridge (symbolizing the "crossing over"). Photo at he Ullambana festival, August 1999.
