Timofej Wassiljewitsch Prochorow
Timofej Wassiljewitsch Prochorow, also known as Väterchen Timofej, was a Russian hermit who became notable for establishing a church and residence on a bombed-out site in northern Munich after World War II. He creatively used rubble and discarded materials to construct his home and chapel, which later evolved into a church. His legacy includes a significant cultural and spiritual contribution to the local community, especially among the Russian Orthodox population. Prochorow's church was a symbol of resilience and hope, which tragically burned down in June 2023 due to a technical defect, prompting efforts for its reconstruction.
