Kościół św. Jakuba w Rostocku

The Jakobikirche stood as a three-nave brick basilica with a rectangular chancel, featuring bundle pillars and numerous altars throughout its structure.

Construction of the church began around 1300, with major sections completed in the second half of the 14th century near the documented brick yard at Bramower Tor.

Between 1484 and 1571, the church functioned as a collegiate chapter, leading to the Domfehde conflict of 1486 that affected the entire city.

The former location now contains stone outlines marking the original foundation, with bronze plaques indicating the positions of the altar and organ.

The British bombings of 1942 and subsequent explosion from a nearby bunker in 1947 led to the complete demolition of the structure by 1960.
