St. Petri zu Lubeck

About

St. Petri zu Lübeck is a groundbreaking cultural and spiritual hub at the heart of Lübeck, where the boundaries between church, art, science, and community blur. Founded as a “church laboratory”, it invites citizens of all ages to explore contemporary exhibitions, music performances, and thought‑provoking discussions in a setting that feels both familiar and avant‑garde. From its lofty windows overlooking the historic city center to its intimate exhibition halls, St. Petri offers an atmosphere of openness and dialogue. One of the church’s signature events is the annual Craftsmen’s Market, a festive marketplace that runs from late November through December. Children under 12 enter for free while adults and teens pay a modest entry fee of 3 €, making the market a family‑friendly outing during the Advent season. In addition to artisan stalls, visitors enjoy live music, warm beverages, and the chance to admire the church’s architectural details and artwork. Beyond the marketplace, St. Petri hosts guided tours, contemporary art installations, and nightly performances such as the Petrivision series. The church encourages visitors to join discussions on contemporary issues, promoting a space where faith, culture, and science intersect. Whether you’re drawn by architectural curiosity, love modern art, or seek a quiet place for reflection, St. Petri welcomes all who wish to experience the city’s cultural life in a unique, welcoming environment.
