Marienkirche, Rathaus, Marktplatz

The architectural complex contains the Marienkirche cathedral, the medieval town hall, and the central market square, forming the civic and religious center.

During excavations in the 1990s, archaeologists discovered seven distinct historical layers beneath the market square, indicating continuous use through different periods.

The Marienkirche functions as a principal venue for musical performances, featuring the largest mechanical organ in the world with 8512 pipes.

The market square hosts regular events including the winter market, while guided tours of the church operate throughout the day.

The brick vault of Marienkirche stands at 38.5 meters high, making it the tallest brick church vault in existence.
