It depicts the detailed story of Jesus' Passion, with the crucifixion at its center. Unfortunately, it is behind highly reflective safety glass.

Petrikirche is a hall church in the High Gothic style, which approximates the ideal type of this church form. The building has a nearly square floor plan with a comparatively short choir. St. Peter's Church, along with St. Reinoldi's Church and St. Mary's Church, is another medieval church located directly on Westenhellweg in Dortmund's city center. The three-bay structure was begun in 1322 and is made of sandstone. In its present form, the church once again displays the original, medieval form of the transverse gabled roofs above the side aisles. The elevated tower is striking; after its collapse in 1752, it was not seen in this form for a long time and was only rebuilt to its historic height in 1981, after the destruction of the Second World War. Inside the church is the "Golden Wonder of Westphalia", a magnificent carved altarpiece.
