On the 20th of June 2007, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje paid a short visit to Rendsburg Germany, which included a visit with the mayor, Andreas Breitner.
Upon arrival at the newly built center, His Holiness was greeted by the many people gathered for his visit that afternoon. Karmapa immediately made his way through the center and around the grounds of the property for blessings.
Finally, His Holiness met with everyone in the Lhakang for refreshments and a short presentation. During the presentation they showed the progress they have made in building this center and they concluded by offering gifts. His Holiness encouraged everyone to maintain the bonds between the sangha. He expressed the importance of proper practice, proper motivation and proper knowledge for becoming a great practitioner. Many people followed onwards with His Holiness that evening to the Hamburg Center, where the program for the next two days would be held and mark the finish of the tour with Lama Ole Nydahl.
