Petruskirche Schwerin, Lutheran church in Großer Dreesch, Schwerin, Germany

Petruskirche is a purpose-built Lutheran church at Ziolkowskistraße 17 in Schwerin's Großer Dreesch district, designed by architect Gottreich Albrecht and consecrated on 7 December 1985. The functional building was planned from 1978 and built from January 1983 for worship and parish work. A cross was mounted on the roof peak in 2002, together with a photovoltaic and solar thermal system. Inside, the Röhm firm of Gotha installed an organ with 12 stops and 888 pipes in 1988.

In 1974 the spring synod of the Mecklenburg Lutheran state church resolved to found a congregation in the Großer Dreesch housing estate, then home to some 62,000 people by 1989. Bishop Heinrich Rathke tasked youth pastor Matthias Burkhardt with building it up; the community met in the Schlosskirche until construction began. Funded through the GDR's special church building programme, planning started in 1978, the first spade cut came in January 1983, and the church by architect Gottreich Albrecht was consecrated on 7 December 1985.

The parish takes its name from the apostle Peter and serves Lutherans in Großer Dreesch, Neu Zippendorf and Mueßer Holz. In December 2023 the congregation gave church asylum to a six-member Afghan family in one of its buildings; a police operation there on 20 December drew nationwide media coverage.

The church stands at Ziolkowskistraße 17 in the Großer Dreesch district, in the Neu Zippendorf area of Schwerin. The Petrusgemeinde also serves residents of Mueßer Holz. The building is a functional hall for worship and parish work rather than a historic monument, so visits depend on the congregation's activities; the parish office arranges access and information.

The cross on the roof ridge was only added in 2002, together with a photovoltaic and solar thermal system. The organ, built by the Röhm firm of Gotha in 1988, has 12 stops and 888 pipes. Much of the planning was done by congregation members who were graduate engineers, and the saved D-Mark share went into better materials.
