Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Aue-Zelle, Germany
The Friedenskirche is a Protestant church in Aue-Zelle featuring a distinctive 50-meter tower topped with a copper dome and decorated with black marble elements throughout. Multiple ornate entrances with sculptural works provide varied access points to the interior.
The church was designed by architects Rudolf Schilling and Julius Graebner and constructed between 1912 and 1914 during a period of regional growth. This building project responded to the expanding evangelical community's need for a new place of worship in the developing area.
The interior features Art Nouveau design with colored glass windows showing biblical scenes and galleries with baroque-style railings that shape how visitors experience the space. These artistic details create a distinctive visual quality for worship and reflection.
The church is located at Kantstraße 2 in Aue-Bad Schlema and is easy to access from the town center. Visitors should check locally about opening times, as access may vary depending on services and community events.
The organ was built by the Jehmlich brothers in 1914 and features 33 registers that have provided worship music for generations. Three steel bells cast by the Bochumer Verein complete the sound system and remain in use today.
