St.-Bartholomäi-Kirche Altenburg, Gothic church in Altenburg, Germany.
The building features a three-aisled nave with cross-ribbed vaults, a star-vaulted choir, and medieval wall paintings in the choir polygon.
Founded around 1100 under Heinrich IV as a chapel, the church received Reichskirche status in 1214 and underwent reconstruction as a Gothic hall church in 1459.
The church holds a Ladegast organ with 2,554 pipes, a carved altarpiece from 1500, and bronze memorial tablets with verses attributed to Melanchthon.
The bell tower contains three bronze bells producing an A-major peal, with two bells surviving the tower collapse of 1659.
Martin Luther performed the marriage ceremony of his study companion Wenzel Linck at this church on April 15, 1523.
