One of the most significant sacred buildings of the late Romanesque period in the Rhineland comes from the Staufer era, the parish church of St. Peter. The similarity of all Staufer churches is striking. One of the common features is the octagonal floor plan of the Palatine chapel of Aachen Cathedral reflected in the octagonal layout of the bell tower chapels. Foreigners could thus recognize from afar who held power in the city. However, Emperor Frederick I never entered this church. Art historians date the beginning of construction of the church in Sinzig to the year 1225. St. Peter was consecrated on August 15, 1241.
Eine der bedeutendsten Sakralbauten der Spätromanik im Rheinland stammt aus der Stauferzeit, die Pfarrkirche St. Peter. Die Ähnlichkeit aller Stauferkirchen ist auffallend. Als eines der gemeinsamen Merkmale ist der oktogonale Grundriss der Pfalzkapelle des Aachener Doms im achteckigen Grundriss der Kirchtürme wiederzufinden. Fremde konnten auf diese Weise schon von weitem erkennen, wer in der Stadt das Sagen hatte. Kaiser Friedrich I. hat diese Kirche jedoch nie betreten. Denn den Baubeginn der Sinziger Kirche datieren Kunsthistoriker auf das Jahr 1225. Geweiht wurde St. Peter am 15. August 1241.
