The "Raum der Stille" was the meditation room which was set up with comfortable chairs, candles, light meditation music and mats on the floor.  The Germans love the 11th Step and it was a big part of this conference.  On Saturday evening there was an Hour of Meditation with about 3000 people in the big hall.  It was a combination of beautiful readings, acoustic guitar, and a contemplative slide show. This picture is of the footprints on the sidewalk that lead from the main conference center to the meditation room in another building.  Every piece of mediation literature that I brought with me was  taken. They were very grateful to get the information about Centering Prayer.
