Peterskirche, Protestant church in Weinheim, Germany

Peterskirche is a Protestant place of worship in Weinheim with a tower rising 48 meters (157 feet) above the old town. The nave holds 700 people, while the galleries add 630 more seats.

A church existed at the confluence of Grundelbach and Weschnitz around 1000, when Emperor Otto III granted Weinheim market rights. The medieval building was enlarged over centuries, but its tower was demolished in 1811 after severe cracks. The parish replaced it with the current church by Hermann Behaghel, consecrated on 27 October 1912.

The church is dedicated to Saint Peter, patron of the medieval Diocese of Worms, to which Weinheim belonged. The organ was built in 1967 by the Ludwigsburg firm E. F. Walcker & Cie, with 62 registers on four manuals and pedals and electric action. The five-voice chime hangs in the 48-meter tower.

Worship services take place regularly, and visitors can often enter the church interior outside ceremony times. The entrance stands near the market square in the old town and is easy to reach on foot.

Archaeological digs during reconstruction uncovered wall paintings from the 14th and 15th centuries. Some of these frescoes were later lost during the Second World War.
