St.-Petri-Kirche, Lutheran church building in Cuxhaven, Germany
St.-Petri-Kirche is a church building in Cuxhaven with a vertical arrangement of altar, pulpit, and organ set in the chancel. The structure follows Baltic Gothic design principles and features a significant organ with three manuals and pedal.
The building was constructed in 1911 as a garrison church under Kaiser Wilhelm II and served marine soldiers and their families until 1948. After this period, the structure's purpose and function underwent significant change.
The church holds two memorial chapels dedicated to merchant sailors and naval personnel that visitors can see during their visit. These spaces reflect the location's deep connection to the area's maritime past.
The church sits near Grimmershörn Bay and Cuxhaven's dikes, making it easy to find and explore. The complex has direct access to the surrounding area, and visitors can see the parsonage and sexton house nearby.
The church houses an organ installed in the 1990s that blends French and German Romantic organ design traditions. The instrument has 49 registers controlled through three manuals and pedal.
