Announcement of the Hamburg Germany Temple
President Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced the Hamburg Germany Temple on April 2, 2023, during the Sunday afternoon session of the April 2023 general conference.
The announcement was a cause for celebration among members in northern Germany, many of whom had fasted and prayed for years to have a temple closer to them.
“We feel truly blessed and happy,” said Hamburg Germany Stake President Niels Ole Jensen.
Daniel Carn, under assignment by Brigham Young, organized the first German mission in Hamburg in 1852. The first German edition of the Book of Mormon was published there on May 25, 1852. The Hamburg Germany Stake was organized in 1961. The Church announced on Nov. 1, 2023, that the Germany Hamburg Mission, which operated from 1974 to 2010, would reopen in July 2024.
