Versöhnungskirche, Neobaroque Protestant church in Völklingen, Germany.

The Versöhnungskirche is a broad neo-Baroque transverse hall church in Völklingen, built from 1926 to 1928 to a design by Heidelberg architect Franz Sales Kuhn. Its exterior combines white plaster with light-ochre Ettringer tuff stone, and the interior is an oval space enclosed by an oval colonnade and a surrounding gallery, covered by a coffered flat dome with a large oval mirror field and ceiling painting.

This building was constructed after a fire in 1922 destroyed the previous Martin's Church. Construction began in 1926 and was completed with the dedication in May 1928.

The name Versöhnungskirche (Reconciliation Church) was chosen in 1968 by a vote among congregation members, replacing the earlier official name Erlöserkirche and distinguishing it from newer churches in other Völklingen districts. The choir relief shows the Trinity: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as a dove blessing a globe with zodiac signs, with a Bible and chalice below. Two putti above the arch hold a band giving the construction period.

The building has additional rooms set up between 2010 and 2011 to reduce heating costs during winter months. This allows services to be held in smaller, warmer spaces when needed.

The church's name changed in 1968 after a survey of congregation members, distinguishing it from the Erlöserkirche in Heidstock. The building is a listed individual monument in Saarland. The Trinity relief above the choir shows God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a dove blessing a globe with zodiac signs.
