Church of Peace, Frankfurt (Oder)

Church of Peace, Frankfurt (Oder)

Frankfurt (Oder), DE

The Church of Peace was founded around 1230 but did not receive its final appearance until the 19th century. After the introduction of the Reformation in 1539/40, the church became a temporary store for grain and hay, served as a shelter for the sick and as a powder magazine. From 1656 it was a reformed church. Due to a lack of parishioners after the Second World War, the building gradually lost its use as a church. Today it is used by the Förderkreis Oekumenisches Europa-Centrum e. V., founded in 1994, with the aim of creating an interdenominational meeting centre.
