St. Peter's Church was founded in the 12th century as the fourth parish church in the old town of Braunschweig. The Gothic church with a 71-meter-high church tower has had a distinctive copper rooster on the top of the tower since 1971.
The first modest building fell victim to a city fire in 1256.
From 1260 onwards, a new basilica was built, of which only the west tower remains.

The tower and interior burned down in bomb attacks during the Second World War.
