Monika Grütters, Berliner by choice, who has been German Minister for Cultural Affairs at the chancellery for one year, brought her Catholicism with her from Westphalian Münster to the secular capital. Which part is played by religion in home and identity? What is the role of culture in an integration society? Blumenthal and Grütters – who have been friends for years – will discuss these themes.
