The East-West Church of Peace, also known as Father Timofej's Church, is a chapel in Munich-Oberwiesenfeld. It was built by the Russian hermit Timofei Wassiljewitsch Prochorow and his wife Natascha. The chapel is located on Oberwiesenfeld, south of the Olympic Lake at Spiridon-Louis-Ring 100. After Timofej died on July 14, 2004, an association took care of the church. Timofeij's house was converted into a museum after his death. The Tollwood Festival takes place around the grounds of the East-West Church of Peace in summer.

Originally a black building, this property became an integral part of the Olympic Park. Father Timofej used to tell his story to school classes. He was over 100 years old.

Father Timofej's East-West Peace Church in the Olympic Park.
The Russian hermit Father Timofej and his wife Natascha built a house with a small church out of war rubble and found materials in the 1950s. An orchard, a chapel and a museum are also part of the ensemble.
