Prenzlau - St Mary's Church

In Ernst-Thälmann-Platz stands St Mary's Church (13th-14th C.) in Prenzlau, one of Germany's finest examples of brick-built Gothic architecture, with a magnificent east gable. The church was burned out in the closing days of the Second World War but has been rebuilt in its original form. There are plans to make it a Museum of Culture.

At the southwest corner of the church can be seen a bronze figure of Martin Luther (by Ernst Rietschel, 1903), a copy of the original found in Worms.
