Motorway churches in Germany

Nowadays, where we induce ourselves fast from place to place and little time for peace and relaxation remains, the motorway churches offer exactly this to the traveler.
Since these churches are exactly at the motorways and/or motorways, they are used also rather frequently by the travelers, in order to at least temporarily escape the travel stress and the Verkehrsgewusel.
Who made rest in motorway churches, drives to it leave, more considerationful and more surely. The visit of a motorway church is thereby also a contribution to the road safety.

So that a church or a chapel may call themselves as motorway church, some conditions must be fulfilled. So for example the situation of the church must a direct binding to the motorway or restaurant have, by 8:00 clock to 20:00 clock be opened and sufficiently place for a travel's group offer.
