The only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the Saarland
St. Peter was erected as a monastery church around 1200 by Wadgasser Premonstratensian canons, who came to Merzig as successors of the Augustinian canons. The layout shows a three-aisled basilica with a transept, chancel peripheral towers, side-apses and a western single tower. The gothic cross-vault ornamented with heraldry was not put in until the 16th century. In the course of a renovation in the 60s of the last century, the nave was extended to the west around the Mary Chapel, while the southern side nave was given a new entrance hall. Special architectural attention deserve the two north portals, the small "cemetery portal" at the transept and the larger main and lay portal at the side ship. In the course of the extensive external restoration of St. Peter, completed in December 2004, the former main portal was reopened in the west tower.
In the interior of St. Peter the visitor can see a large number of cultic works, especially from the Baroque period. The Christ, Mary and the 12 apostles, who were made around 1700 by Wolfgang Stupeler, are particularly worth mentioning. Also worth seeing is the 17th-century Pietà in the side chapel in the northern transept. Further attention-getters are the high altar with the crowning pelican figure around 1738 probably carved by the Saarlouis sculptor Ferdinand Ganal, an early Christian symbol, the stemming from the 4th century Gothic plague cross over the altar, the revolving baptismal font, or the St. Nicholas statue rediscovered and restored just a few years ago. In extensive reconstruction work in 1984/85, the paintings by the Merzig painter Heinrich Klein, which had been coated in the framework of the Second Vatican Council, were also exposed, the latter one has made them in the style of the Nazarene school after models of Eduard von Steinle.
As the most important building in our city and the only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the state of Saarland, characterises the parish church of St. Peter most of all for those coming from the east from the direction of Brotdorf the image of the core city. In spite of the many changes that St. Peter has undergone during the course of his long history through fire catastrophes, war destructions or transformations in the style of the particular zeitgeist, the church has, apart from the Westbau (west wing), kept its original shape.
Einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland
St. Peter wurde um 1200 von Wadgasser Prämonstratenserchorherren, die als Nachfolger der Augustinerchorherren 1182 nach Merzig gekommen waren, als Klosterkirche errichtet. Der Grundriss zeigt eine dreischiffige Basilika mit Querhaus, Chornebentürmen, Nebenapsiden und einem westlichen Einzelturm. Das wappenverzierte gotische Kreuzgewölbe wurde erst im 16. Jahrhundert nach einem Brand eingezogen. Im Zuge einer Renovierung in den 60er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts wurde das Nordseitenschiff um die Marienkapelle nach Westen verlängert, während das südliche Seitenschiff eine neue Eingangshalle erhielt. Besondere architektonische Aufmerksamkeit verdienen die beiden Nordportale, das kleine "Friedhofsportal" am Querhaus und das größere Haupt- und Laienportal am Seitenschiff. Im Zuge der im Dezember 2004 abgeschlossenen umfangreichen Außensanierung von St. Peter wurde das frühere Hauptportal im Westturm wieder geöffnet.
Im Innern von St. Peter erwartet den Besucher eine große Zahl kultischer Kunstwerke, vor allem aus der Zeit des Barock. Besonderes zu erwähnen sind beispielsweise die Christus, Maria und die 12 Apostel darstellenden Figuren, die um 1700 von Wolfgang Stupeler gefertigt wurden. Sehenswert ist auch die aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammende Pietà in der Nebenkapelle im Nordquerhaus. Weitere Blickfänge sind der um 1738 vermutlich von dem Saarlouiser Bildhauer Ferdinand Ganal geschaffene Hochaltar mit der krönenden Pelikanfigur, einem frühchristlichen Symbol, das aus dem 14. Jahrhundert stammende gotische Pestkreuz über dem Altar, die Drehtaufe oder die erst vor wenigen Jahren wiederentdeckte und restaurierte Nikolausstatue. Bei umfangreichen Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahr 1984/85 wurden auch wieder die im Rahmen des II. Vatikanischen Konzils überstrichenen Malereien des Merziger Malers Heinrich Klein freigelegt, der diese nach Vorlagen von Eduard von Steinle im Stil der Nazarener Schule gefertigt hat.
Als das bedeutendste Bauwerk unserer Stadt und einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland prägt die Pfarrkirche St. Peter vor allem für die Besucher, die von Osten her aus Richtung Brotdorf kommen, das Bild der Kernstadt. Trotz der vielfältigen Veränderungen, die St. Peter im Lauf seiner langen Geschichte durch Brandkatastrophen, Kriegszerstörungen oder Umgestaltungen im Stile des jeweiligen Zeitgeistes erfahren hat, hat die Kirche, abgesehen vom Westbau, ihre ursprüngliche Gestalt weitgehend behalten.

The Javan Lutung inhabits the interior and peripheral areas of rainforests - Halimun Salak National Park.
This primate is diurnal and arboreal. Its diet is primarily herbivorous, eating leaves, fruit, flowers, and flower buds, although it also eats insect larvae. As with other colobines, it has evolved a specialised stomach to digest plant material more efficiently.This species also has enlarged salivary glands to assist it in breaking down food.
Like other langurs, the Javan Lutung is a social animal, living in groups of around seven individuals, with one or two adult males in the group. Although they will look after offspring of other mothers as well as their own, adult females are aggressive towards females from other groups. The brighter coloring of juveniles may alert females to their presence and ensures that they will always be noticed and protected. This species has no discernible mating season and females produce one offspring at a time.
Like all langurs, this species' tail is noticeably long, measuring up to 87 cm in length while the body is only around 55 cm long. The two subspecies of this lutung are fairly similar in appearance and are geographically separated; males and females are both usually glossy black, although the females pale, yellowish white patch around the pubic area. Juveniles of both subspecies are orange in color. The nominate subspecies Trachypithecus auratus auratus has a rare race that does not lose its juvenile coloration when it matures, instead the coloration darkens slightly, with yellow tinges on its sides, limbs, and around its ears, and a black tinge on its back.
The Javan Lutung, Trachypithecus auratus also known as the Ebony Lutung and Javan Langur, is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It is most commonly glossy black with a brownish tinge to its legs, sides, and "sideburns".It is found on and endemic to the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands. The Latin word auratus in its scientific name means "golden", and refers to a less common color variant. Note that the common name Golden Langur is used for a different species.
