Frauenfrieden Church, Frankfurt/Main

The 1929 consecrated church Frauenfrieden in Frankfurt/Main was financed by women for the purpose of remembering the victims of the Great War and as a prayer for peace. In 1916, the Catholic women's rights activist, politician and chairperson of the Catholic German Women's Association Hedwig Dransfeld (1871-1925) formulated the idea of having a church commemorating the fallen of the war financed exclusively by women. The church was planned by architect Hans Herkommer. In 2020 the church was restored and the liturgical interior redesigned by the artist Tobias Kammerer.
