Friedenskirche Charlottenburg

Friedenskirche Charlottenburg, Baptist church in Charlottenburg, Berlin, Germany.

Friedenskirche Charlottenburg is a red brick Gothic Revival church built in 1897–1898 to a design by Carl Moritz, set in a rear courtyard off Bismarckstraße 40. The facade pairs exposed brickwork with cream stucco panels, a tall central gable, pointed-arch windows and a circular opening above three lancet windows. The inscription "FRIEDENS KIRCHE" stands over the recessed entrance portal.

Built in 1897–1898 as the Catholic Apostolic Eben-Ezer Chapel, designed by architect Carl Moritz in Brick Gothic style. From 1908 to 1918 it served as a synagogue, then as a Pentecostal church. The Baptist congregation, existing since 1898, bought the building and land in 1920 and reopened it on 2 October 1921. Badly damaged in 1944, it was rebuilt from 1946 to 1949.

The Baptist congregation, founded in 1898, bought the building in 1920 and rededicated it on 2 October 1921. Services have no altar; the pastor preaches in a suit, often without a written text, and the congregation shares coffee afterwards to talk about everyday problems. The former women's gallery from the synagogue period now holds the organ.

The church sits behind a residential building at Bismarckstraße 40, in a rear courtyard, so it is easy to miss from the street. Its east side can be seen through a gap at Richard-Wagner-Straße 6, and the west front from the courtyards of Wilmersdorfer Straße 142 and 143/144. The grounds measure roughly 50 by 20 metres.

The church is hidden in a rear courtyard behind a residential building at Bismarckstraße 40, which earned it the nickname "Hinterhofkirche" (courtyard church). Its east side is visible through a gap at Richard-Wagner-Straße 6, the west front only across the courtyards of Wilmersdorfer Straße 142 and 143/144. The plot measures roughly 50 by 20 metres.
