The Copts are the original Christians of Egypt and trace their founding back to St. Mark the Evangelist.
Since 1993, there is a Coptic monastery in the community Höxter-Brenkhausen, which also serves as a bishopric. Also in Bad Grund there is for
some time a Coptic church - the former Protestant chapel on Taubenborn. Diocesan Bishop of the Coptic Church in Northern Germany is HE Bishop Anba Damian. More information about the
monastery and the Coptic church can be found on the site
