St. Peter’s Church

St. Peter's Church stands 132.20 meters tall with a copper spire and features traditional Brick Gothic architecture in the center of Hamburg.

First documented in 1195 as a market church, the structure underwent Gothic reconstruction in 1310 and survived multiple fires throughout its history.

The Protestant cathedral maintains regular Lutheran services while hosting musical performances and community gatherings in its grand interior spaces.

Visitors can climb 544 steps to reach the observation platform, which remains open from Monday through Saturday between 11:00 and 17:00.

The church foundations contain remnants of the Bischofsturm, an ancient bishop's tower discovered during construction work in 1962.
