    April 2021: "I spend a devout minute at and in the Friedenskapelle in the wooded Ruhr slope on the edge of Überruhr.
    Believing or incredulous, so close to the urban hustle and bustle, I gladly succumb to the quiet, peaceful charm of the small chapel again. "

      Peace Chapel of the Eucharistic Honor Guard. It was built in 1960/1961 by the men of the Eucharistic Guard of Honor. Each active guardsman volunteered to work 100 hours at the chapel.

      The chapel offers a special place of peace and devotion.

        Idyllically situated surrounded by trees. Church music often plays from inside the church. The outdoor area invites you to linger with countless benches.

            Because it's just nice to look at and you can - almost - walk past it while hiking.

              Small place of rest in great surroundings. You don't expect a chapel there.

                Chapel located above the Ruhr that invites you to stop off.

                    In 1961, the year after the Eucharistic World Congress in Munich, the Peace Chapel of the Holy Eucharist was built on Mönkhoffstraße. Every May 1st, a star-shaped procession takes place from all communities in Überruhr to the Friedenskapelle. The Church of St. Suitbert from 1964 is regarded as the most modern church building in Essen. This modern church, built in experimental reinforced concrete shell construction, was designed by the Düsseldorf architect Josef Lehmbrock. It was entered in the monument list of the city of Essen in 2019.

                        Beautiful little chapel located directly on the hiking trail. Countless benches in the outdoor area invite you to rest.

                          The Peace Chapel of the Holy Eucharist is located in Essen-Überruhr. In 1988, the fresco and the wall paintings were redesigned by the Essen artist Heribert Buchholz (*1937). He also designed the color scheme for Maria Rosa Mystica
