St. Nikolai Church Jüterbog

The St. Nikolai Church of Jüterbog is the largest and oldest church in the city. In good weather you can climb the church tower with its 200 steps and enjoy the view over the city and the Jüterboger surroundings.

Martin Luther, Thomas Müntzer and Johann Tetzel preached here. Wallenstein was here in the Thirty Years' War and Prussian King Frederick opened the 7-year war here. At Kaiser-Wilhelm times, Jüterbog was the largest garrison town in Germany.
Today you can still visit three city gates a part of the city wall and three large churches. Among them the Liebfrauenkirche, which is the oldest building in the city (1174)

In the Nikoleikirche is the notorious Tetzelkasten in which Tetzel hoarded the money for the indulgence letters. With this money, the St. Peter's was co-financed significantly.
