Germany - Lubeck: St. Petri zu Lubeck
(Local Name: Petrikirche) Southwest of the Markt in Lübeck, in Schmiedestrasse, stands the Gothic Petrikirche (13th-14th C., restored). There are fine views from the tower.
The church itself will surprise you with its whitewashed pillars, high windows, terracotta tiles, some gravestones of granite and a modern crucifix in black and white by Arnulf Rainer - but otherwise nothing. St. Petri was also destroyed in the war, only its bare outer walls remaining up to 1960. An association then initiated the reconstruction of he church, which was finally reconsecrated in 1987. As St. Petri has no parish of its own to serve, it is used mainly for art exhibitions, panel discussions and concerts. Guidebook.
