"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 "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.

the church was built in Romanesque style in the 13th century and in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 19th century it was expanded into a five-aisled Gothic hall church. Destroyed in World War II and then rebuilt. Since the interior was lost, the interior was only whitewashed and otherwise unadorned. This gives the interior a particularly beautiful simplicity.
St. Petri is no longer used as a church, but as an event and exhibition center. This means that access is sometimes not possible.
There is a viewing platform on the tower that offers a 360 ° view over Lübeck. Don't miss it, even if it costs admission.
