History
The first settlers in the area were German Lutherans from Ukraine, who began to arrive in the area in 1891-92.[2] In 1903, the first Lutheran church, St. Paul's Church was completed and in 1926, a second, St. John's Church, was established.[2] In 1911, Friedensfeld School was established,[3] with enrolment reaching as high as 60 students.[4] It closed in 1966, with the province-wide school consolidation,[4] despite attempts by the community to save it.[3]
Culture
The Friedensfeld Community Centre, formed in 1967 but only opened in 1970, features a large community hall, playground with picnic shelters, and baseball diamonds, which were home to the Friedensfeld Sultans fastball and baseball teams until 2009.[5] The Bantam AA Friedensfeld Sultans won the 2007 AA Western Canadian Baseball Championships. The championship trophy is still located within the trophy case inside the Friedensfeld Hall.Шаблон:Citation needed
