Friedenskirche, Romanesque Revival church in Heilbronn, Germany.

The Friedenskirche features thick masonry walls, round arched windows, and a collection of design elements typical of late 19th-century German ecclesiastical architecture.

Built between 1896 and 1899, the church sustained damage during World War II, leading to the demolition of its tower spire in 1947 and complete removal in 1952.

The church served both the local Protestant community and military personnel, functioning as a garrison church for troops stationed in Heilbronn since 1883.

The building exceeded its initial construction budget, with interior furnishings alone costing approximately 100,000 marks during the late 1890s construction period.

A fresco depicting the Last Judgment by Heinrich Altherr was installed behind the altar in 1939, shortly before the church suffered war damage.
