Luke Altar was built by the former Guild of St. Luke. All three were built originally to serve as Roman Catholic altars. Also worthy of notice is the Ministers' Room, which originally served as a library. Since 1543, it has been the collection room of the Cathedral ministers, and was remodelled in 1710. The ceiling murals, with their civic virtues, show the importance of maintaining parish to the city regiment. They were painted, like the landscape paintings on the wall, by Johann Moritz Riesenberger. Coats of arms on the walls name the pastors, vicars, and jurors who have served the parish since the sixteenth century. Windows The stained-glass windows are the work of Charles Crodel, who also created the windows of St. Matthew's Church in Winterhude and those of St. Mary's Church in Fuhlsbüttel. The windows depict in the main important events in the ecclesiastical year viz. Annunciation, Christmas, Passion, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost.
