St Mary's Church Description
(Local Name: Marienkirche) After the Nikolaikirche (St Nicholas' Church), the Marienkirche is Berlin's second-oldest surviving parish church and is the church in which the Bishop of Berlin preaches. The interior was partially restored in 1986-87. The church first appears in the records in 1294. By 1340 it had been enlarged into a triple-aisled Gothic hall church with a five-sided east choir. It was burned down in 1380 but rebuilt a few years later. The steeple added by Carl Gotthard Langhans in 1790-92 is a pleasing mixture of Neo-Gothic and Classical.

The plain exterior gives no hint of the treasures within. A particularly notable feature is a fresco of the Dance of Death (2 m/6.5ft high, 22.6 m/74ft long)
