Petrus Chapel Alexisbad

Highlight • Religious Site

The Petruskapelle in Alexisbad (Harzgerode) was consecrated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always shown with two keys in hand. This attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19).
Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles"; their common feast day in the saints calendar is on June 29th.

A weekend, and thus a short vacation, comes to an end, but there is still time on the way home for a short tour to the engagement urn in Alexis Bad.
From the parking lot opposite the Petruskapelle it goes steadily uphill over the Selketal Stieg, past the small birch house, to the engagement urn with an impressive valley view …
