    St. Petri Cathedral is over 1,200 years old. The cathedral received its early Gothic character in the first half of the 13th century. Particularly noteworthy are its oldest parts, the west and east crypts and its important organs.

      St. Peter's Cathedral in Bremen was built in the Romanesque style on the foundations of older buildings from the 11th century onwards and was rebuilt and extended in the Gothic style from the 13th century onwards. This church building is made of sandstone, and in hidden places in the older parts it is also made of tuff.

        This "Sankt Petri" church, the cathedral in Bremen, 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 June 29th.
