The Marienkirche is in the merchants' quarter, which stretches from the storehouses on the banks of the Trave up to St. Marien. It is the main parish church of the council and the citizens of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Built directly at the town hall, the church has a close connection to the city's history. Shortly after the founding of Lübeck, there was a market church at this point with close ties to the upscale town tower and the city council. The church has been rebuilt several times, from a simple Romanesque basilica to a mighty Gothic brick cathedral over the centuries. Despite massive war damage, today a magnificent church again.

The brick basilica is considered the mother church of brick Gothic in the Baltic Sea region. It is closely linked to the history of the city of Lübeck and is still considered the church of the citizens and the city council. In addition to the impressive architecture, the danse macabre windows, the astronomical clock, the Fredenhagen altar and the chapel with the bells that fell down in 1942 are particularly worth seeing.
