Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche, Baroque church in Templin, Germany.

Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche is a plastered brick hall church built from 1735 to 1749 to plans by Berlin architect K. S. Schmidt, with a 70-metre tower completed in 1751. Its four-bay interior rests on square pillars, and the polygonal choir is ringed by a six-sided ambulatory. The south portal sits in a pilaster-framed niche beneath a curved hood and inscription panel.

The first stone church on this site burned in 1492; successors followed until a city fire on 24 August 1735 left only the tower stump and the 15th-century sacristy. The present brick church, designed by Berlin architect K. S. Schmidt, was consecrated in 1749, with the tower finished in 1751. Fieldstone remains of the predecessors were incorporated into the new building.

The church was renamed Maria-Magdalenen in 1539 when the Reformation was introduced in Templin; before that it was called Sankt-Marien-Kirche. The interior reflects later periods: the encircling gallery was installed in 1877/1878 in late-classicist style, and the pulpit altar and baptismal font date from the 18th century.

The church stands in the old town centre, aligned east-west unlike the surrounding buildings. The nave interior was restored in 1963 and the facade between 1995 and 1998. The parish house and garden lie north of the church, the community house opposite the sacristy entrance.

The 1748 iron offering box with its fittings stands in the church, and the Rococo organ case on the west gallery is the surviving front of Gottlieb Scholtze's 1769 organ, whose instrument is gone. Carl August Buchholz, Jehmlich and finally a Schuke organ of 1994 were built behind it. In the chancel stands a 1940 organ by George Osmond of Taunton, brought from Torquay in 2014.
