The Friedenskirche in Gaimersheim is an Evangelical Lutheran parish church in the Kraiberg area .

In the first construction phase, a church with 120 seats and a 10 m high bell tower was built in 1957. At that time the church was called simply "Evangelical Church on the Kraiberg near Gaimersheim". It was only later that it was given its current name. In 1998/99 a new church with 350 seats was added to the bell tower, the tower was raised to approx. 20 m and the tower gable was turned by 90 degrees. In 1999, the Gaimersheim artist and sculptor Konrad Risch made the “glass altar”, a multi-part glass picture with movable wings, behind the altar table and in 2003 the “six works of mercy” on the side window of the nave.
