St. Michael's Church (German: Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis, colloquially called Michel,
German pronunciation: [ˈmɪçəl])
is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches (Hauptkirchen)
and the most famous church in the city. St. Michaelis
is a landmark of the city and it is considered to be one of the finest
Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches.
The church was purposely built Protestant unlike many other Hamburg churches
which were originally built by Roman Catholics
and were converted to Protestantism during the Reformation.
It is dedicated to the Archangel Michael.
A large bronze statue, standing above the portal of the church
shows the archangel conquering the devil.
