history

The two-storey, five-axis, clinkered former sexton house of the St. Petri cathedral parish with a saddle roof and the massive, striking stepped gable with the diagonal wall decorations in the upper middle field was built in the period between the wars in the expressionism style in 1926/28 . It connects directly to the cathedral with a view of the Domsheide . The transition to the chapter house is through a single - storey neo-Gothic arcade . Sexton's house, cathedral, bell and chapter house encompass the rectangular Bible garden with a fountain. The sexton's apartment and the cathedral choir hall with the cathedral choir archive were located in the building. In the 1980s, other, other institutions of the cathedral community were housed in the house.

The protected ensemble of the cathedral island also consists of St. Petri cathedral with the cathedral museum (Romanesque and Gothic additions), rectory, two preacher's houses , parish hall , the bell and chapter house of the cathedral community , house Kulenkampff and two commercial buildings Domsheide 4 and 5 as well the Bismarck monument with the equestrian statue of Otto von Bismarck and the tower blower fountain .
