St. Peter's was first mentioned in documents as early as 1170 a.d. With its tower, St. Peter's is part of the unique Lübeck skyline. It is one of the " 7 towers". How the first church on the site looked is unknown. What is known however, is the building history from the early 13th century. The late Romanesque three-nave church was rebuilt and expanded over the centuries.
Its present appearance dates back to the 15th century - a five-nave Gothic hall church. After its partial destruction during the second world war, St. Peter's was rebuilt without many of the traditional accoutrements of a church. Today, the light-flooded, whitewashed church interior is a place for the public to explore science, art, culture and religion. It's parish is the city of Lübeck.
