AugustinusWeg – find the treasures of your life
Since May 2007 the AugustinusWeg is located in the Messelhausen district, the seat of the Augustinian Order Monastery.
The project of the AugsutinusWeg team was to connect everyone living in the surrounding counselling and caregiving units and those living in the guest house, in the sense of the order's founder St. Augustine.
The first path section is accompanied by the words which St. Augustine wrote down in his famous "Confessions" and which can be translated into your own life. These words are shown in greater context and made clear by brief suggestions or thoughts.
