Stadtkirche St. Marien, Neoclassical church in Greiz, Germany.

The three-nave Stadtkirche St. Marien features strong Corinthian columns supporting three gallery levels and contains 1,000 seats within its stone walls.

First mentioned in 1225 as a chapel below the castle, the church underwent reconstruction following the city fire of 1802, with its 64-meter tower completed in 1827.

The church hosts numerous musical performances throughout the year, including the Music and Bible Days in October and the New Year's concert by the Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra.

The building maintains its function as the main Protestant church of Greiz, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and local history.

The Kreutzbach organ, installed in 1881 and modified in 1919 by Jehmlich brothers from Dresden, stands as one of the largest instruments in Thuringia.
