Freiberg Germany Temple
The
Freiberg Germany Temple
is a
Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
located in
Freiberg
,
Saxony
,
Germany
. The Church announced the Temple in
October
1982
, ground was broken for
construction
on
April 23
,
1983
, and the Temple was dedicated from
June 20
to
June 30
,
1985
. Built in what was then the
German Democratic Republic
, the Freiberg Germany Temple was the first LDS Temple to be built in a
communist state
. The East German government approved the building of the Temple on practical grounds, because of the many Latter-day Saints 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. Latter-day Saints popularly attribute a hastened fall of the
communist
regime
to the Temple's presence and influence on the country.
