Pfarrkirche St. Peter
One of the most important sacred buildings of the late Romanesque period in the Rhineland dates from the Staufer period, the parish church of St Peter. The similarity of all Staufer churches is striking. One of the common features is the octagonal ground plan of the Palatine Chapel of Aachen Cathedral in the octagonal ground plan of the church towers. In this way, strangers strangers could recognise from afar who was in charge in the city. Emperor Frederick I never set foot in this church. Because the start of construction of the Art historians date the start of construction of the church in Sinzig to 1225. Peter was consecrated on 15 August 1241.
