Friedenskirche is an Evangelical church in Düsseldorf, where Neo-Gothic architecture reflects the historicist style and the building’s long history. The church was inaugurated as a place of worship in 1899.

Anton Käppler prepared the original design, while Georg Weidenbach directed construction with Moritz Korn. Its plan is rectangular and almost square. The bell tower keeps a square form beside the nave roof, then becomes octagonal above it. A five-metre crucifix marks the chancel arch.

Air raids during World War II damaged Friedenskirche severely, leaving the sacristy relatively intact before reconstruction simplified the building. Work on the church’s reconstruction ended in 1953. Eduard von Gebhardt created biblical interior paintings, and surviving fragments show the Baptism of John, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Burning Bush. The chancel windows became glass mosaics in 1954.

Rudolf von Beckerath built the organ in Hamburg, and Hans-Ulrich Erbslöh later restored and expanded it. The church contains bells cast from steel in 1924. Friedenskirche remains a place for worship and community gatherings in Düsseldorf. The Friedenskirche is recorded as wheelchair accessible for visitors.
