    Hamburg has many large churches - but only one "Michel". After an eventful history - built three times between 1647 and 1912 and completely destroyed twice,

    the main church of St. Michaelis in Hamburg is still one of the most impressive


    buildings in the Hanseatic city. From a height of 106 meters, the fabulous

    (and airy) view over Hamburg, the harbor and the surrounding area offers a completely new perspective. If you want to "earn" this experience, take the stairs up,

    past the impressive church bells. But this experience can also be improved: move it to the night and experience the night Michel!

    The elevator is then mandatory, but the breathtaking view over the Hanseatic city at night with classical background music tops any visit to Hamburg - literally.

    Sophisticated concerts and moving church services impress in the interior, while the classic "tower blowing" follows old traditions: A trumpeter plays a verse in all four directions every morning at 10 a.m. and in the evening at 9 p.m., but on Sundays he only starts a chorale at 12 p.m.


    In the crypt, an exciting film about the 1,000-year history of the Hanseatic city

    and the more than 350-year-old church is shown and commented on:

    It impressively reports on good and bad days in Hamburg.

      A visit to the observation deck of the Michels is always worthwhile in good weather.

      Only the number of stages is not entirely without.

        The landmark of the Hanseatic city is the main church of St. Michaelis.

        The nave with its five organs, the vaulted cellar

        and the fabulous view from the church tower are particularly impressive. In its almost 400-year history

        the "Michel" had to be completely rebuilt twice.

        The "Michel", as the Protestant main church of St. Michaelis is called by locals and visitors alike, is present throughout Hamburg's city center. This may be mainly due to the church's 132-meter-high tower, which towers over most of the buildings

        in the city center and can be seen from many angles.

        Although the Michel has faced competition as a city landmark, especially from the Elbphilharmonie, the baroque church is still a crowd puller and iconic for Hamburg's cityscape.
