St.-Petri-Kirche

The St.-Petri-Kirche features a vertical arrangement of altar, pulpit, and organ with choir gallery in the chancel, following Baltic Gothic architectural elements.

Initially constructed as a garrison church in 1911 under Kaiser Wilhelm II influence, the building served marine soldiers and their families until 1948.

The church maintains a memorial chapel established in 1993 for merchant marine sailors and another created in 2002 for German naval forces.

The church complex includes a parsonage, sexton house, and kindergarten with direct access to the Grimmershörn Bay and the surrounding dike.

The Gerald Woehl organ, installed in the 1990s, combines French and German Romantic organ styles with 49 registers across three manuals and pedal.
