St. Peter's Church

The St. Peter's Church was first mentioned in a document in 1170. The church underwent several alterations and only received its present appearance in the 15th century. During the Second World War, the church lost its roof and spire helmet but also burned out completely inside. Only in the sixties the first safety measures were taken and in 1987 the church was completely restored.

Marienkirche

The Marienkirche (officially St. Marien zu Lübeck) was built from 1277 to 1351. The building was a symbol of the economic and political power of this city then at the head of the powerful Hanseatic League. As part of the old town of Lübeck, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Mary is widely considered as the "mother church of Gothic brick".
