Hamburg. St. Michaeliskirche

St. Michaelis Church
This distinctive landmark in Hamburg is better known locally as the "Michel". Visitors can admire the church's impressive central vaulted nave, containing three music organs, and enjoy a beautiful view of the city from the tower.Many lovers of architecture consider the Baroque church, with its distinctive cap, to be the most beautiful church in northern Germany, situated as it is among the piers and jetties of Landungsbrücken.Particularly striking is the copper plating around the tower, which is a popular lookout spot. At a height of 82 metres, visitors can have a wonderful view of the northern metropolis as well as being able to get close to the largest clock tower in Germany.A special tourist attraction is also the Michel trumpet player: every day at 10am and 9pm (Sundays at 12pm) the tower warden plays a trumpet solo which sounds out in all directions.
