The St. Jakobi Church is mentioned for the first time in 1227 in the Upper Town Book and has been the church of the boatmen, seamen and boat builders who lived mainly in this quarter of the city in the Middle Ages. This church, however, was a previous building that was destroyed in a city fire in 1276. Shortly afterwards, the construction of today's church began. The construction of the three-aisled step hall church was completed in 1334 with the completion of the high altar. The chapels and sacristy were added until the beginning of the 15th century. The ridge turret was given its current shape in 1622/23, and in the middle of the 17th century the old spire was torn down due to dilapidation and replaced by the baroque spire, which is flanked by four spheres and has shaped the skyline of Lübeck ever since.

Built at the beginning of the 14th century and consecrated together with St. Marien and St. Petri. Since it was not destroyed in the war, the interior is correspondingly magnificent.
The church is connected to the seafarers.
I found lifeboat No. 2 of the four-masted barque Pamir particularly impressive. Only six people survived the sinking in two lifeboats. You can read that impressively in a niche.

If you approach the city by ship from the north, the seven mighty church towers appear at a certain point along the way, above all the Jakobis tower, unmistakable with its helmet framed by four spheres.

Because almost everyone who had anything to do with seafaring lived in the north of the city since the time of the Hanseatic League. The ships of the long-distance trade merchants were also here. B. the street name Engelsgrube ("Englische Grube") indicates.

So St. Jakobi developed into the church of sailors, boatmen and fishermen. Lifeboat 2 of the tall ship "Pamir", which sank in 1957, has been a memorial in the northern tower chapel since the 1950s - and St. Jakobi has now elevated it to the rank of a national memorial for civil shipping.

James the Elder, the patron saint of pilgrims, meets us in various forms - with a shell motif and a pilgrim's staff - in the church. The shell is still the symbol of the church today (it used to be supplemented by two crossed pilgrim sticks).

The two famous historical instruments with their preserved substance from the 15th and 16th centuries are impressive in terms of sound as well as their great brochures visually in their interesting combination of stylistic elements from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
