Alte Peterskirche, Neo-Gothic Lutheran church in southern Leipzig, Germany.
The Peterskirche stands as Leipzig's largest religious structure, featuring an 88-meter tower that rises above the city's southern district.
Construction of the current Peterskirche began in 1882 after a design competition among 80 architects, replacing an earlier church building from 1507.
The church functions as a multipurpose venue, hosting religious services, concerts, theater performances, exhibitions, and conferences throughout the year.
Located at Schletterstraße 5, the church offers wheelchair access and can be reached via tram lines 10 and 11 at Hohe Straße station.
The building contains colored glass paintings forming a figurative cycle that stands as the only collection of its kind in Saxony.
