Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Sterkrade, Oberhausen, Germany.
The church features a rectangular nave with classical and neo-Gothic architectural elements, including four slender corner towers and a three-part pointed arch portal beneath a steep gable.
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 church serves as an active community center hosting religious services, concerts, and cultural events, maintaining its role as a spiritual hub for local Protestant residents.
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 interior ceiling resembles an industrial hall roof structure, reflecting the practical design considerations of the mid-19th century industrial era in the Ruhr region.
