St Martin, Catholic church building in Cochem, Germany

St Martin is a church in Cochem along the Moselle River, built with Gothic architectural elements including pointed arches and colorful stained glass windows. The building sits in a central location and shapes the town's skyline with its vertical structure.

The oldest section, called the Alte Chor, dates from the 15th century and survived the damage of World War II. After the war, the church was rebuilt and returned to its original function.

The church hosts regular worship services and concerts, serving as an active gathering place where the community comes together. The name references Saint Martin, the patron saint of travelers, which resonates with the region's role along the river trade routes.

St Martin stands on the Moselpromenade, the riverside promenade in Cochem, so it is reached on foot from the town centre. The church belongs to the Diocese of Trier. Visitors should check local opening times before setting out, as the building is an active parish church.

The church keeps a simple memorial cross for two altar servers, aged 14 and 15, and their chaplain, who were buried under collapsing walls on 5 January 1945 while trying to save liturgical objects. The boys were buried in the cemetery of Ebernach monastery.
