The Friedenskirche was built in 1908 for the formerly independent Evangelical Lutheran congregation. With its copper-covered towers, it characterises the cityscape of the Vorderer Westens.
The Friedenskirche was built between 1905 and 1908 as the third place of worship for the Lutheran congregation in Kassel according to plans by the architect Johannes Roth. It was intended to provide a spiritual home for the Lutherans in the west of Kassel and gave them the opportunity to conduct their services with the liturgy they were familiar with.
With its copper-clad towers, it is a distinctive feature of the cityscape of the Vorderer Westen. Emergency repairs to war damage and acoustic deficiencies led to a redesign of the interior (barrel vault) in the 1960s.
In 1992, the Friedenskirche received a new organ with 40 stops in the French style (Bosch company). In 1998, the interior was redesigned by the Munich restorer Rolf-Gerhard Ernst. Terracotta-coloured walls surround the visitors in an inviting and friendly way. The gold of the altar wall points to the mystery of God. Two monumental modern paintings by Dietrich Stalmann open up the view into the distance.
A rich musical offer characterises this church congregation.
