Stadtkirche St. Marien, Gothic church building in Borna, Germany.
The three-nave hall church features a western tower with Romanesque foundations and displays intricate ribbed vaults in its central nave section.
The foundation stone of the current Gothic structure was laid in 1411, with master craftsman Hans Wolffart completing the choir area in 1434.
The church contains a main altar created in 1511 by Hans Witten von Köln, incorporating detailed wood carvings and religious sculptures.
The church tower underwent extensive renovation starting in 2006 due to structural issues caused by nearby lignite mining operations.
The first German-language Mass in the region took place at this church in 1521, marking a significant shift in religious practices.
