Saints Sixtus and Sinnitius
Sixtus of Reims was supposedly a disciple of the Apostle Peter. He is said to have sent him, accompanied by his Roman friend Sinnitius, to Reims in 57 AD and appointed him its first bishop. Together they established the archbishopric there.
In 831, Bishop Ansgar was installed in Hamburg by Pope Gregory IV. When Hamburg was invaded by Vikings in 845, Ansgar fled to Ramelsloh and founded a church. The relics of Saints Sixtus and Sinnitius are said to have been interred in this church. The church from that time no longer stands; only the name remains.

The cathedral square in front of the church was not a megalomaniacal design. Ecclesiastical history was verifiably written in this beautiful area.
