Marienkirche, Gothic church in Untermhaus district, Gera, Germany.

The Marienkirche rises near the White Elster river with two neo-Gothic towers on its west facade and features a late Gothic altar inside.

Construction of the church began in 1440, while its chancel dates back to 1193, making it among the oldest religious structures in the region.

The church maintains connections with the arts, standing next to the birthplace of painter Otto Dix and hosting concerts throughout the year.

Regular services occur in the church building, which accommodates 650 members and includes an 1894 organ with 27 registers for musical performances.

From 1802 to 1854, the Marienkirche served as a garrison church for the Reuss military forces stationed in the area.
