Petrikirche Interiors — the Last Project by M. E. Messmacher in Petersburg
The article explores the last project by M. E. Messmacher in Petersburg: his work on redesigning the interiors of the German Lutheran Church of St. Peter on Nevsky Prospect. The discovered archival materials allowed us to add up to the known facts, to reconstruct the chronology, to clarify some facts related to the development of the project and the choice of contractors, and even to get an idea of the architect’s personality.
Keywords:
