Lonely Planet review for St Nikolai
Nearby St Nikolai, not to be confused with the new Hauptkirche St Nikolai in Harvestehude, was the world's tallest building from 1874 to 1876, and remains Hamburg's second-tallest structure (after the TV tower). Badly damaged in WWII, it now houses a war memorial. A glass lift zips you up to its 75.3m-high viewing platform inside the surviving spire.
