This Zülpicher church was consecrated to Saint Peter, who together with Saint Paul are considered the princes of the apostles. Jesus called the fisherman Simon, whom he called, the surname Peter (rock). The popes of the Catholic Church see themselves as the direct successors of Peter, over whose tomb in Rome St. Peter's Basilica is enthroned.

It consists of two roughly equal parts of the room, of which the northern one below the former long choir, the southern one below the Anno chapel.
