Friedenskirche Niederschönhausen

Friedenskirche Niederschönhausen, Protestant church in Niederschönhausen, Germany.

Friedenskirche Niederschönhausen is a fieldstone church at the old village crossroads, enlarged in 1869–1871 into a cross-shaped building with an apse to the east. The new parts are faced in yellow brick banded with red, while the older nave keeps its fieldstone masonry. A three-storey octagonal tower with a shallow pyramidal roof rises over the crossing, and a gold angel figure stands on the west gable peak.

A late-Romanesque fieldstone church of around 1250 stood here, renewed in the 16th century and baroquised in 1743 with a recessed choir and roof turret. In 1869–1871 it was extended into a cruciform building in the round-arch style of the Schinkelschule, following an 1849 sketch by Frederick William IV; the rebuilt church was consecrated on 7 July 1871 and named for the peace after the Franco-Prussian War.

The name Friedenskirche, chosen at the 1871 consecration, marks the end of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. Inside, the 1981/82 restoration recreated the Romanesque-style painting of 1871, including golden stars on a blue ground in the crossing dome. The pulpit and chandelier date from the church's construction period.

The church is located at Dietzgenstraße 19-23 in the Pankow district and can be easily reached by public transport or on foot. Interested visitors can contact the church by phone to inquire about visiting hours and possible tours.

The 1869–71 work was an extension, not a replacement: the medieval fieldstone nave was kept and raised to the new roof height, and the transept, apse and 25-metre crossing tower were added east of it. The tower stayed low because of poor ground; Friedrich Wilhelm IV had sketched a taller three-stage design.
