Communität Casteller Ring (CCR) is a Religious order for women in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria.
CCR emerged shortly after World War II from the Bavarian Girl Guide Movement Bund Christlicher Pfadfinderinnen. The Religious community lives in the spirit of the Rule of St Benedict. The mother house is in Schwanberg. From 1996 until Easter 2011, sisters of the Casteller Ring staffed St. Augustine's Monastery in Erfurt, where Martin Luther lived as a monk.[1]
CCR also has oblates and circle of friends.
