Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Mülheim district, Cologne, Germany

The Friedenskirche stands at Wallstrasse 70-72, featuring a cross-shaped layout and a tower with three high Neo-Romanesque sound windows on each side.

The church dates back to 1610 when Lutherans and Calvinists received permission to build a church in Mülheim during the Jülich-Cleves succession dispute.

In 1837, the previously independent Lutheran and Reformed congregations merged under orders from Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III, leading to the name Peace Church.

The church building serves the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland, providing religious services and community gatherings for Protestant residents of Cologne.

Following destruction in 1784 by Rhine ice floes, the church was rebuilt in 1786 by architect Wilhelm Hellwig at its current location.
