Marienkirche, Brick Gothic church in Anklam, Germany.

Marienkirche is a three-aisled hall church in Brick Gothic, with a late Romanesque choir and sacristy and a four-storey tower now 64 m high under a gabled roof. Inside, slender octagonal piers carry 14th-century paintings, and a pointed stained-glass window rises above the altar.

First documented in 1296, the church was built from about 1256, replacing an older Romanesque structure whose tower remains embedded in the Gothic masonry. A planned twin-tower scheme modelled on Lübeck's Marienkirche was abandoned in the 15th century; a chapel rose where the second tower was intended. Protestant services have been held since 1535. After the air raid of 9 October 1943 destroyed the spire and vaulting, the church was reconsecrated in 1947.

Protestant services have been held here since 1535. In the north aisle a plaque commemorates the reformer Johannes Bugenhagen, who was born in Anklam in 1485. The former north tower site now holds a chapel used in winter as a heated church, with the late-15th-century figure of Mary from the pre-war high altar.

The south tower rises 64 m under a plain gable roof; the north tower was never built, and a chapel now serves as the winter church. The Apostle Bell of 1450, about 4,500 kg, hangs in the tower, though it was taken out of use in the 1990s. Five new bells cast in Karlsruhe in 2014 replaced the two from 1947.

On the chapel walls of the south nave, built in the second half of the 15th century, the brick surface keeps numerous Schürfmale: small ground hollows, grooves and cup marks. Around 1500 such brick dust may have been scraped off as a remedy for women who were childless or short of milk.
