I can only hope this successfully promotes tolerance and friendship between those of different faiths.
are there any examples of something similar being attempted, of bridging the gap between different religious communities?

I like this! Hopefully everything is kosher between the groups.
This is good.
The bartender will look up and say, "What is this, some type of joke?"
That's a project for many years now in the planning and construction, so it is kind of old news.
Fantastic project, I just wished modern buildings weren't usually so blocky and repellent:
It looks like the modern interpretation of a medieval fortress tower with embrasures.

Well withdrawing from Eastern Jerusalem, Golan Heights, West Bank and lifting the siege on Gaza would do a whole lot more than this, like a ton more.

Things like this make me so fucking happy. ;w;
Bosnia's capital Sarajevo is a prime example & so are some other cities/towns. Sarajevo has an Ashkenazi synagogue (the 3rd biggest in Europe), the Husrev-begova mosque (which was built in the 16th century & is drop-dead gorgeous), the catholic cathedral Srca Isusova & the Old (Serbian-)Orthodox church. They're not all in the same building, but it's not like they're super far apart either so Sarajevo & most other parts of Bosnia I've been to feel very mixed when it comes to religion. Bosnia has a shitload of problems, especially with crooked politicians, governments & police forces, but the religious & cultural diversity & how people usually (of course you've got your islamophobic or anti-semitic or just plain anti-religion shits everywhere) will not treat you any different no matter your religion is something I'll always love about it.
I imagine it'll be protestant/evangelical, we don't have too many catholic churches up north or at least not as many as further south. :0

Definitely, there is a lot of bullshit happening that needs to be addressed, and I hope I wasn't being insensitive to that situation.
Always curious considering "Christian" doesn't mean too much on its own lol

The land is owned by the Evangelical Church Association of St. Peter's-St. Mary's.

Oh no not at all. I just don't think this does anything tangible really, we've been building churches right next to mosques in Lebanon for decades and we still hate each other.

Well, I'm from a Muslim background and my best friend of 20 years is Sikh and we've both had Hindu friends in our social circles. Co-existence and peace amongst these three religions is possible in microcosm, maybe in the future as a whole.
Catholicism and Protestantism are Germany's two predominant Christian denominations. It'll either be a Protestant representative, becaue Berlin is mostly Protestant (it is however also the seat of a Catholic Cathedral) or both denominations will have a representative in this church. I think that will actually be the case, as I have that somehow in my memory. Ecumenism is pretty common in Germany. I'll look it up though.
French government has been cracking down on mosques and fear mongering about Islam in general lately.
Seeing a neighboring country create something like this must perplex them.

A mosque, temple and a church next to each other in Surinam. It works. No reason as to why it shouldn't. Been that way a long time. Hate is dumb.
The Republican Party houses GOP leaders, Qanon conspiracies, Evangelical values, and drumpferism.
Sadly their synergies promote the opposite effect.
I think it was the 1991 Tom Clancy novel The Sum of All Fears that ended with Jerusalem being arranged like this, with neutral Swiss Guard to keep the peace if needed. 🤷♂️
As far as I know there is nothing wrong with a mosque sharing a building with another religion, I'm pretty sure it's happened before, there might be an issue if they shared a praying space. (e.g. it wouldn't be acceptable to do your prayers where there are crosses/depictions of jesus all around you)

I guess they chose the blandest design possible in order to not favor any of the three religions over the others.
This is a really good idea and hopefully leads to more interfaith dialogue and acceptance. But good god that building is ugly.
Edit: I hope they got very good security at all times. I can easily see a far-right or Islamist terrorist attacking this place.

I am not sure how this compares to the Republican Party at all. This is a nonsensical comparison.
