Craftsmarket inside St. Peter's Church
25th November – 19th December 2010
More than 50 craftsmen from Northern Germany offer their goods in the historical surrounding of St Peter’s church, which was built some 800 years ago. The five-naved church with its slim gothic pillars, the sun illuminated bright room and the lively floor is a jewel of gothic brick architecture. During World War II, the building was heavily destroyed. After its restoration, the church is also a place of contemporary culture today.
The craftsmen offer great things and invite to the church decorated for Christmas. Visitors can look forward to detailed ceramics, excellent wooden pieces, textile art, jewellery, glass and amber, wool and weaving works. Furthermore, there will be paintings, classic toys and soapstone, tin and leather art works.
The Church cafeteria and the restaurant in the church’s yard ensure that guests will not lack of anything. Highlight of the market is certainly the lift. It takes you to the viewing platform where you have an overwhelming view on Lübeck.
