St. Petri, Gothic church in Brunswick, Germany
The church structure features a 71-meter-high western tower, three naves arranged in a Gothic hall design, and robust octagonal pillars supporting vaulted ceilings.
The original building from 1200 was destroyed by fire in 1256, leading to the construction of a basilica in 1260, which later transformed into the current Gothic hall church.
In 2023, the St. Petri congregation merged with Andreaskirche to establish the St. Andreas-Petri parish, maintaining Lutheran religious traditions in Brunswick.
Visitors can find St. Petri at An der Petrikirche 9 in Brunswick, where four bronze bells from 1977-1978 announce regular service times and events.
The tower displays a 3.25-meter copper rooster weather vane designed by Bodo Kampmann, installed during the 1971 reconstruction after World War II damage.
