The Protestant Church of Reconciliation is a church belonging to a congregation of the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate in Germersheim in the district of the same name in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The foundation stone of the Protestant Church of Reconciliation was laid on November 26, 1782. It was inaugurated on October 24, 1784. The building inscription in a cartouche above the portal reads:

“In the years of salvation 1782 and 1783 under Elector Karl Theodor and his senior officials Baron von Reybeld and H. von Tautphöus, this church was built by the Reformed congregation of this city.”

The following Bible quote can be found below:

“I will go into your house because of your great goodness and worship before your holy temple in your fear. Psalm V.8.”

The church has served the city's united Protestant congregation as a place of worship since 1818, the year of the union between the Lutheran and Reformed congregations in the Palatinate. On October 25, 2009, exactly 225 years and one day after it was put into service, the church was given the name "Church of Reconciliation" during a celebratory service.

The Church of Reconciliation is not a free-standing building, but is integrated into the front of the street. While the facade of the north wall with the main portal is on Marktstrasse, the chancel borders Mittelstrasse. Both streets were already mentioned in the Middle Ages and are therefore part of the oldest part of the city.

The church is a rectangular structure with 4:3 window axes. The flat ceiling is above a large cove and cornice. On the north and west walls there is a gallery on round columns. The parapet is closed and paneled. The pulpit has a round body with fluted pilasters and classicist hangings. The windows are round-arched and have a quarry stone frame with embrasures and wedge stones. There are also three circular windows on the gable.

The main portal on the north side has a basket-arched opening between cranked Ionic pilasters. Above the portal there is a shortened round-arched window. An eight-sided roof turret above the facade gable serves as the bell tower. It is provided with slate cladding, round-arched sound openings and a profiled dome.
