Liebfrauenkirche, Catholic church in Ravensburg, Germany

The Liebfrauenkirche is a Roman Catholic church at the northern entrance to Ravensburg's old town, built between 1279 and 1360. Its white walls and grey slate roof enclose a body with tall pointed-arch windows, a square tower with paired round-arched belfry openings and a clock face, and a lower octagonal turret on the left of the facade. The high choir is unusually long for a parish church.

Construction started in the late 13th century and took about 100 years to complete. It developed as the second parish church of the city and maintained connections with a nearby abbey.

The church's brotherhood was dedicated to Saint Andrew, and six large wall paintings above the choir stalls by Gebhard Fugel show his legend and scenes from the life of Jesus. The same artist painted the Stations of the Cross between the nave windows, which were restored. The paintings are now very dark and in poor condition.

The church stands at the northern entrance to Ravensburg's old town, next to the Herrenstrasse, whose name recalls the clergy houses of the medieval choir clergy. The west portal faces the street; the long high choir inside is unusually long for a parish church because a rood screen once separated it from the nave, and its foundations were excavated in 2010.

The Schutzmantelmadonna in the south aisle is a copy; the 1480 limewood original by the Ulm student Michel Erhart, a work of the late Gothic Ulm school, is now in the Bode Museum in Berlin. The church also holds a sacrament house of Rorschach sandstone whose late Gothic forms echo the Sebaldus tomb in Nuremberg.
