St. James's Church (German: Jakobikirche) is one of the five main Evangelical Lutheran parish churches in the old town of Lübeck, Germany. It was consecrated in 1334, serving as a church for sailors and fishermen who still retain their "Schütting" (originally from the Norwegian "Skotting" and now known as Schøttstuene) for meeting houses at the shipping company in front of the church. The patron saint of the church is James the Greater. The church also serves as a stop on a branch of northern Germany's Camino de Santiago, next to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit and the neighboring Gertrudenherberge. Since September 2007, the church's north tower chapel has been a national monument for civil shipping, known as the Pamir Chapel.
