Hindu temples and gurdwaras in Germany

The Sri Kamadchi Ampal Temple in Hamm is the Hindu temple most people in Germany mean: it is open daily and its community says the annual festival draws over 25,000 worshippers and visitors. Around Frankfurt, the Hari Om Mandir in Bockenheim holds a Sunday pooja at 13:00, ISKCON’s Frankfurt temple is across the river in Offenbach (Sunday feast from 13:00), and there are two Tamil kovils and three gurdwaras. Berlin’s Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple in Neukölln was consecrated in June 2026, Munich has the Sivaalayam Shiva temple and ISKCON in Eglharting, and gurdwaras stand in some 35 German cities.

Also worth knowing

Many German Hindu temples are Sri Lankan Tamil kovils, founded since the 1990s by refugees in former warehouses, flats and industrial halls; Hamm, Dortmund, Essen, Stuttgart, Hanover and Bremen are the main centres. The Hamm temple’s community puts the number of Hindus in Germany above 100,000, about 60,000 of them Tamil. Poojas run twice a day, shoes come off at the door, and some temples ask visitors not to have eaten meat, fish or eggs that day.

Afghan Hindus, who arrived from Afghanistan from the 1980s, founded the mandirs in Hamburg, Cologne, Essen and Frankfurt. Most speak Hindi and follow the Indian calendar, so these are the temples where a visitor from North India will feel most at home; about 2,000 Afghan Hindu families live in Germany, the most in Hamburg, Cologne and Frankfurt.

Diwali falls in early November in 2026. In the Frankfurt area, the Hari Om Mandir says it celebrates Diwali but had not published a date on 22 October, and ISKCON Frankfurt-Offenbach runs a diya workshop on Sunday 1 November (registration required). ISKCON Berlin lists Govardhan Puja on 10 November at 15:00. Gurdwaras mark Bandi Chhor Divas on the same days; ask at the one nearest you.

Every gurdwara serves langar, and visitors cover their heads and remove shoes. Most hold the main diwan on Sunday, and many rent halls, so addresses change; the Gurdwara Germany directory lists about 45 gurdwaras in some 35 cities. For a pandit for a house puja, naming ceremony or wedding, ask at the Hari Om Mandir in Frankfurt, the Sivaalayam in Munich, the Sri Kamadchi Ampal Temple in Hamm or the temple closest to you.

Not listed because we could not confirm an address: ISKCON centres in Stuttgart, Munich City (Harinam Mandir), Munich (Mukundadesh) and Nürnberg, and the ISKCON Namahatta groups in some 18 towns including Karlsruhe, Aachen, Bremen, Düsseldorf and Offenbach — ISKCON Deutschland (iskcon.de/tempel) lists them with a contact. ISKCON Bad Oeynhausen (Govardhandesh, Zur Lutternschen Egge 85, 32549) holds Sunday festivals in East Westphalia. German Wikipedia also lists Tamil kovils in towns such as Bielefeld, Gummersbach, Wuppertal, Krefeld, Backnang and Kirchheim unter Teck that are not covered here, and a Sai Baba temple in Bremen-Huchting.

Two Balinese Hindu temples, in Berlin’s Gärten der Welt and Hamburg’s MARKK museum, are heritage pavilions, not places of everyday worship, and are not listed. Jyoti Maiyya Hindu Tempel in Hamburg-Stellingen is leaving its premises.
