At the suggestion of Venerable Phra Prom Mongkol Vi (Phra Ajarn Tong Sirimangalo), the Dhammacari Vipassana Meditation Center Association was founded in September 2004 with the mission to establish a meditation center in Germany. The center was opened in February 2006 in Sonnenthal (near Munich). Hildegard Huber has resided there ever since.
