In early August, the Brockhagen Archive received an extraordinary donation—an altar and part of an organ facade from the historic New Apostolic Church in Reutlingen-Süd (Alexanderstraße). The pieces can be traced back to the construction of the large church there in 1913 and were in use until the 1980s. When the church was decommissioned, they became surplus. Effective immediately, the Archive is displaying this unique and richly decorated ensemble in its permanent exhibition.
