Guided Story
You're standing in front of the Protestant Friedenskirche, a striking building in the Eicken district of Mönchengladbach. This church has graced Margarethenstraße 20 since 1885, originally known as the 'Betsaal.' One of its unique features is the presence of two main organs—one romantic and the other neo-baroque, both playable. These instruments give this place a distinct sound and character. You might feel the history embedded in these walls. Between 1938 and 1939, this site was a focal point during the 'Schlosserkrieg,' a conflict in the church struggle of the Third Reich. Take a moment to admire the architecture, a testament to its era.
