Friedenskirche, Protestant church building in Handschuhsheim district, Heidelberg, Germany.
The Friedenskirche is a church building in the Handschuhsheim district featuring early 20th-century architectural design with a spacious main hall for worship services and gatherings. The interior is laid out to accommodate both regular religious services and various community events.
The church was designed by architect Karl Hermann Behaghel in 1910 to serve the expanding Protestant population in the Handschuhsheim neighborhood. Its construction responded to the district's growth during that period.
The church serves the local community through regular musical performances and events that bring neighbors together throughout the year. It functions as a cultural meeting place where residents of the neighborhood gather for concerts, choir presentations, and artistic gatherings.
The building is easily accessible on foot and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with basic parking available nearby. Visitors should check ahead about current opening times and events to plan their visit effectively.
The church operates Café Oase, a gathering space for visitors of different ages that regularly offers open afternoons with coffee and conversation. This initiative transforms the space into more than a place of worship, making it a genuine community hub.
