der Friede, -n

peace

Ein Zustand, in dem Menschen ohne Streit, Gewalt oder Krieg zusammenleben und sich sicher fühlen.

The German word "Friede" is a noun that means "peace". It can refer to a state of tranquility, absence of conflict, or harmony, both in personal contexts and in broader societal or global situations. Similar words in German include "Friedenstiftung" (peacebuilding), "Ruhe" (calm), and "Eintracht" (harmony).

While "Friede" specifically denotes peace, "Ruhe" may imply calmness or quietness, and "Eintracht" refers to harmonious relations among people rather than the broader absence of conflict that "Friede" conveys.
