St. Petri Church is the oldest church in Hamburg and is located directly opposite Hamburg City Hall. This Gothic hall church invites visitors not only to linger and reflect, but also to listen to the organists and take a breath. Unlike other churches, St. Petri is quite minimalist in its interior design, impressing with its simplicity and incredible ceiling height. The most remarkable feature of St. Petri Church, however, is its tower, which can be reached via 544 steps. At 123 meters high, it is one of the tallest climbable towers in Germany. A word of caution: the climb is not for those with a fear of heights or claustrophobia. The platforms become increasingly narrow, and the top platform can only accommodate three people at a time. However, the reward is an incredible view over Hamburg. Even those who don't make it to the very top can enjoy a fantastic view from the intermediate levels. Here, too, you can discover treasures of the old St. Petri Church, a fire brigade museum, and the church's enormous bells.
