temple, LDS Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
Freiberg Germany (LDS) Temple was built in what was then the German Democratic Republic, and was the first LDS Temple to be built in a communist state.
The East German government approved the building of the Temple because many Latter-day Saints were requesting visas to travel to Switzerland to attend the Bern Switzerland Temple. The government wished to minimize citizens' travel outside the G.D.R., so they requested and invited the Church to build a new temple inside their borders.
It was originally dedicated in 1985 and was renovated and rededicated on September 7, 2002.
