Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Gallus, Frankfurt, Germany

The Friedenskirche is a church building in Frankfurt with brick walls and clear lines from the 1920s. The structure displays expressionist features with geometric forms and functional design elements.

The Friedensgemeinde was founded in 1909 from part of the Matthäus parish and named after a dismantled wooden emergency church. A first architecture competition in 1911 was halted by World War I; a second in 1923 required a tower dominating Frankenallee. Karl Blattner's second-prize design was built from 1925 and inaugurated on 11 March 1928. Bomb damage in March 1944 led to rebuilding by Hans Bartholmes, completed in 1953.

The parish, founded in 1909 from part of the Matthäusgemeinde, takes its name from the wooden Friedens-Wanderkirche, itself named after the 1871 Peace of Frankfurt. The name also carries the biblical message of the "God of peace" (1 Corinthians 14:33). The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau.

The church stands at the corner of Frankenallee and Krifteler Strasse, with its entrance on the south side facing Frankenallee, a main street of the Gallus quarter. The parish hall is located beneath the church interior, and the parish house and kindergarten occupy annexes on both sides of the building.

The bronze figure of the blessing Christ in the flat, pointed-arch altar niche was made in 1928 by sculptor Richard Scheibe. The stained-glass windows, designed by painter Hans Heinrich Adam and executed by Bernd Gossel, show Christmas, Good Friday, Easter and Pentecost. The organ, built by Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau in 1981, has 25 stops on two manuals.
