The Friedenskirche is a Protestant church in the east of the city of Freiburg im Breisgau . It is located in the Oberau district on the border with the Waldsee district and is one of the reliably open churches .
history
After a Protestant congregation had formed in the 1920s due to the beginning development in the west of what is now the Waldsee district, the desire for an own church arose. In 1951 a church building with a rectory, community hall and kindergarten was built according to plans by the Hamburg- based architect Alfred Giese in the style of a north German courtyard. In 1971 and 2001 the church was renovated.
description
Church, tower and outbuildings are made of exposed red clinker bricks . The church building is a simple hall building with a gable roof in an east-west orientation. The tower stands at the northeast corner of the building and has a sagging tent roof . To the south of the church are the parish rooms, which originally housed a kindergarten; However, this was later housed in a more modern extension south of it as "House Kunterbunt". In the garden to the north of the church building, the rectory stands free, the outer skin of which, also made of red bricks, has disappeared under a thermal insulation layer that was added later.
The simple overall impression of the outer shell continues inside. The room has no ceiling, rather one looks into the open roof structure , the construction of which is framed in green and red tones . The rectangular clear glass windows are tinted slightly yellow. A very large crucifix (without a cross bar) behind the altar is striking . It was created by the metal sculptor Kurt Lehmann , who at the time lived and worked in Staufen im Breisgau . On the back of the altar wall, to the right and left of the crucifix, there are nine differently shaped blue paper sculptures, a work by the artist Wilhelm Morat from Neustadt in the Black Forest that emerged from a competition .
In 2019 the church received a two-manual organ with 28 registers as a replacement for a trouble-prone and problematic Steinmeyer instrument , which was built by the Schuke company in 1976 for the Freiburg St. After overhaul and renovation by the Freiburg organ workshop Späth , it will be rebuilt on the statically reinforced rear gallery of the church.
Four bronze bells have been hanging in the tower since the building was erected, cast in 1951 by the Bachert bell foundry in Karlsruhe.
