Marienkirche Ribnitz

Marienkirche is a brick church in Ribnitz-Damgarten built primarily from red brick materials. The structure features a 49-meter tower and three interior naves forming its spatial layout.

Construction began between 1220 and 1230 as a hall church without a tower, following late Romanesque principles. The tower was added later to create the current form of the building.

The church serves as a religious center for the city and regularly hosts organ concerts in its restored interior. Visitors experience the space as both a place of worship and a venue for musical performances during the summer months.

The tower staircase contains 214 steps leading to an observation platform with views extending toward Rostock on clear days. Visitors should expect a demanding climb and wear appropriate footwear.

A Jehmlich organ was installed in 1994, becoming the catalyst for annual summer organ festivals. This concert series running from June through August has transformed the building into a notable music venue.
