      The town church of Sankt Petri in Woldegk was consecrated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Genesareth when he – together with his brother Andrew – was called by Jesus Christ to be the "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes – currently Francis – are his successors. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible passage in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (chapter 16, verse 19).
      Peter is also known along with Paul as the "Princes of the Apostles", their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

        The Sankt Petri Church in Woldegk from around 1250 belongs to the north German brick Gothic style. The base of the tower, the chancel with sacristy and the granite portal on the north side of the nave still exist from a stone building from this period. In 1442 the nave was built as a three-nave brick hall.

        A thorough restoration took place in the years 1901/1902. In 1945 the church burned down completely. The vault, the half-timbered tower attachment, the interior and the church tower were destroyed.

        The restoration of the church began in 1954. The nave received a flat roof, the tower as a conclusion a longitudinal gable roof. Thanks to community activities and pastors, the interior of the church has been able to be used again for church services, community work and fantastic concerts and recitals for years.

        The church tower was renovated in 2006/2007. Putting on the separately manufactured 24 meter high church tower was a special highlight.

        The reconstruction of the church tower was made possible by the main initiators, the association for the reconstruction of the church tower of St. Petri Church in Woldegk e.V. and the city of Woldegk. On October 6th, 2007, the inauguration of the church tower, which was rebuilt according to the historical model, took place.
