St. Peter, Aachen

The church features a west tower from the medieval city wall period and exhibits architectural elements of the Maasland Baroque style throughout its structure.

Constructed over a former Roman burial site, the first chapel dedicated to Saint Peter was documented in 1215, with major reconstruction by Laurenz Mefferdatis in 1717.

The church treasury contains numerous liturgical vessels and religious artifacts that survived World War II, preserving centuries of religious heritage.

Located near the central bus station in Aachen, the church maintains its religious functions while serving as an architectural heritage monument of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Gutenrat Chapel, which survived the wartime bombings, houses the Marian altar created by Jacques de Reux and a stone Madonna figure by Gustav Angelo Venth.
