St. Peters is located next to the Lindenhof hill, site of the former Roman castle and built on the site of a temple to Jupiter. An early church of was here in the 8th or 9th century was replaced by an early Romanesque church around AD 1000, then it was replaced in 1230, parts of which survive. Rudolf Brun, first independent mayor of the town, was buried here in 1360.

 

The current building was consecrated in 1706 as the first church built under Protestant rule.
