St. Mariae-Jakobi-Kirche, Lutheran church in Salzgitter-Bad, Germany.

The St. Mariae-Jakobi-Kirche features thick defensive walls measuring two meters and contains 37 arrow slits from its original fortification design.

Built around 1480 as a fortified church, the structure incorporated defensive elements and served as part of the city's protection system against attacks.

The church name combines two former churches, St. Marien and St. Jakobus, which were destroyed during the Hildesheimer Beer War between 1481 and 1486.

The church maintains regular Lutheran services and provides access to historical artifacts including bronze altar candlesticks from 1600 and a silver chalice from 1400.

The oldest bell, cast in 1481, bears an inscription commemorating the destruction of the first St. Marien church in its German text.
