Friedenskirche, Church building in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The Friedenskirche features a tent-shaped wooden construction designed to accommodate 300 people within its modern architectural framework.

Built in 1949 under Otto Bartning's direction, this church addressed the need for religious spaces after World War II destructions and refugee influx.

The church represents post-war German reconstruction efforts, with its design focusing on cost-effective solutions while maintaining architectural integrity.

Located on Karlstrasse 49B, the church received additions in 1962, including a tower that houses the sacristy and facilities.

The construction cost was 80,000 Deutsche Mark, half the price of traditional church buildings of similar size at that time.
