St. Maria auf dem Berg, Romanesque church in Nordhausen, Germany.

St. Maria auf dem Berg is a Romanesque church in Nordhausen with three aisles, a transept, and thick stone walls built in the medieval style. The structure displays typical features of that period with robust elements that remain visible today.

The church was first documented around 1200 and originally served as part of a Cistercian convent until World War II bombings caused severe damage. The wartime destruction marked a major turning point in the building's story.

The Latin name Beatae Mariae Virginis in Monte distinguishes it from St. Maria im Tale, the church in the valley. The convent was called St. Mariae novi operis, "New Work". A large information board outside the church explains its role in the Peaceful Revolution of 1989/90.

The site is entered from Sangerhäuser Straße 1a, where the church stands at the western edge of the old town near the Zorge. The 2004 garden-show redesign opened the walled-up arch between transept and former nave, now fitted with a window and a glass folding door across its full width. The 12-metre steel structure over the lost nave is open and used for events.

The three bells hang not in a tower but in a wooden bell frame with a hipped roof, built northwest of the church in 1997. The smallest was cast in 1448 and once hung in the church's roof turret; the largest, the 777 kg Melanchthon bell, was cast in 1927 for Nordhausen's millennium and came from the Petrikirche.
