St. Michaelis Church, Hamburg

Built from brick, St. Michaelis Church spans 71 meters in length and 51 meters in width, with its tower reaching 132 meters into the Hamburg skyline.

The original church construction began in 1647, followed by multiple reconstructions after fires and war damage, with the current structure rebuilt between 1947 and 1952.

The church maintains its Lutheran traditions through regular services while functioning as a cultural center, hosting classical concerts and musical performances throughout the year.

Visitors can access the church tower platform for panoramic views of Hamburg, with the tower serving as a navigation point for ships entering the harbor.

The tower features Germany's largest clock faces, each measuring eight meters in diameter, with a trumpeter performing chorales at 10 AM and 9 PM on weekdays.
