    The Petrikirche is the oldest and at 117.0 m the highest of the former four city churches of the Hanseatic city of Rostock.

    City wall inscription on the founding of Rostock near the Petrikirche: After the Wendish settlement of Rostock across the river was destroyed in 1160, German merchants founded the city of Rostock around 1200 on this hill, which was granted Lübeck rights in 1218
    Rostock's other churches are or were the Marienkirche, the Nikolaikirche and the Jakobikirche, which was destroyed in World War II and finally demolished in 1960. Like the other churches, the Petrikirche belongs to the Evangelical-Lutheran inner-city parish of Rostock in the parish of Rostock in the Mecklenburg church district of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in northern Germany. The Reformation started in Rostock's Petrikirche when in 1523 Duke Heinrich V commissioned the local chaplain Joachim Slüter to preach the evangelical sermon.[1] During an air raid in 1942, the church and its interior burned out and lost its characteristic spire.

      Not only suitable as a photo motif, the Petrikirche also offers a good view over Rostock and above all the city harbor. There is supposed to be an elevator to get to the viewing platform, but I think everyone who is out and about here is a jock who of course goes up on foot👍

        I believe this building has been rededicated and people now live in the church.
