    "The St. Peter's Church in Lübeck is a church that was first mentioned in 1170. Over the centuries, it was expanded several times until it was completed in the 15th century, it suffered severe damage in World War II and was not completed until 1987 Since the interior has not been restored, there are no services in place, instead it is used for cultural and religious events and art exhibitions.

      The Lübeck view from the Petri tower: a must in every excursion program. Only a few steps have to be overcome. Then a modern lift takes visitors to the viewing platform at a height of 50 meters.
      A view that you will not forget: the old town with St. Mary's, the town hall and the other brick churches, the Holstentor, the excursion boats on the Trave, the house gables in the Great Petersgrube. Around the new, the modern Lübeck. And in good weather: the big hotels on the Baltic coast, Mecklenburg and the hills in the Holstein country.

        The "Sankt Petri Kirche" in Lübeck was consecrated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always shown with two keys in hand. This attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19).
        Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles"; their common feast day in the saints calendar is on June 29th.
