The St. Peter's Cathedral in Bremen is a Romanesque church built of sandstone and brick, which was built from the 11th century on the foundations of older predecessors and was rebuilt in the style of the Gothic since the 13th century. In the 14th century there were extensions to lateral chapels. 1502 began the transformation into a late-Gothic hall church, but did not get over a new north side ship when the Reformation stopped further extensions. In the late 19th century, an extensive renovation of the inside well maintained, but externally shabby-looking construction, one tower of two had collapsed. The design was mainly based on existing and old representations, but they also designed some innovations such as the Neo-Romanesque crossing tower. The church today belongs to the Protestant-Lutheran cathedral community of St. Peter. It is listed since 1973 (Wikipedia).

However, it was demolished in 1043 at the instigation of Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen again, their former course is still visible in the pavement of today's place. Thereafter, the Domshof was not structurally delimited from the rest of the city encompassed by the common Bremen city wall.
