Cathedral on the island poster. Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
The first Lutherans appeared in Moscow in the 16th century. These were artisans, doctors and merchants invited from Europe. And already in 1694, Peter I founded the Lutheran stone church in the name of the holy apostles Peter and Paul - which was consecrated a year later, in his personal presence. During the Great Moscow Fire of 1812, the temple burned down. And the parish acquired the Lopukhins' estate near Pokrovka, on Starosadsky Lane. At the expense of King Frederick William III of Prussia, as well as with the participation of Alexander I, in June next year the reconstruction of the purchased house into a church began - a dome and a cross were erected. On August 18, 1819, the temple was consecrated. In February 1837, the organ sounded in it for the first time. In 1862, a neo-Gothic reconstruction was carried out, according to the plan of the architect A. Meinhardt. And in 1863, a bell was raised to the tower, donated by Kaiser Wilhelm I.
The church played a huge role not only in the religious, but also in the musical life of Moscow - famous Moscow and foreign performers performed in it. Suffice it to mention Franz Liszt's organ concert, which took place on May 4, 1843.
On December 5, 1905, the church was consecrated as the Cathedral of the Moscow Consistorial District. In 1918, the cathedral received the status of the Cathedral of Russia, and then of the entire Soviet Union.
However, in the post-revolutionary years, persecution of religion began in the USSR. The community building was taken away. In 1937, the cathedral was converted into the Arktika cinema, and then transferred to the Filmstrip studio. The redevelopment made, unfortunately, completely destroyed the entire interior. In 1941, the church organ was evacuated to the Novosibirsk Opera House, where it was partly scrapped, partly for decorations. And before the World Festival of Youth and Students in 1957, the spire of the cathedral was dismantled.
In July 1992, by a decree of the Government of Moscow, the building was returned to the community. And in 2004, after much effort, we managed to find sponsors, both among individuals and among organizations. This made it possible to start large-scale restoration work. Finally, on November 30, 2008, during a solemn service, the consecration of the revived cathedral took place.
Currently, in addition to divine services, numerous concerts are held in the cathedral - musical instruments sound, delightful voices sing, magical music comes to life. Installed opposite the altar, the SAUER organ (built in 1898 by Wilhelm Sauer, one of the largest organ-building firms in Germany) is one of the few romantic organs of the nineteenth century that have survived in Russia. The unique acoustics of the Evangelical Lutheran Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul makes it possible to fully enjoy its sound.
