Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Sterkrade, Oberhausen, Germany.

The Friedenskirche is a 27-metre-long, 13-metre-wide church with a 33-metre tower topped by a dark spire. Its architect Wilhelm Dahmen combined classical and neo-Gothic elements, including slender turrets at all four corners of the nave. The lower facade has a steep gable with a pointed-arch entrance framed by zigzag molding and flanked by two carved round medallions.

Construction began in September 1850 and was completed in July 1852, making it the oldest Protestant place of worship in Oberhausen, designed by architect Wilhelm Dahmen.

The name Friedenskirche ("Peace Church") was given at its consecration on 15 July 1852, when the adjoining parsonage was also occupied. A stone memorial tablet in the entrance area commemorates Wilhelm Lueg, the ironworks director who led the founding of the congregation and the building project.

Located at Steinbrinkstraße 158, the church underwent major renovations in 2002 including altar area expansion and interior modernization to accommodate contemporary worship needs and community gatherings.

The church was financed largely by a house collection across the Rhine Province and Westphalia: the young congregation could raise only 1,000 of the estimated 10,000 thalers, while the Jacobi, Haniel & Huyssen ironworks donated 3,000. A stone memorial plaque in the entrance area commemorates Wilhelm Lueg, the ironworks director who led the community's founding.
