Peterskirche
(Schrannenplatz; daily) Looking back on a 1000-year history, this enigmatic church is
now a war memorial, hiding exquisite time-faded frescoes of the Passion of Christ by
Hans Holbein the Elder. The cool, dimly lit interior is a quiet spot for contemplation. Next
door is the turreted 14th-century Diebsturm , once a tiny jail.
