- Light a Candle
Especially during the dark winter months, you might want to light a candle – to say a prayer, to spare a thought, or to remember loved ones. You can do this with our virtual tree of lights too - Art Adventure
St. Marien boasts a vast treasure trove of artworks, which are now being showcased as part of a major project: Discover the Art Adventure. At the moment, the project is only available in German – but it will soon be available in English too. Until then, please feel free to use your browser’s translation feature - Renovation
St Marien will be completely closed during the first week of November due to renovation work. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to visit the church during this time. Church services and pastoral care will take place in the Briefkapelle (entrance opposite the Marienwerkhaus); guided tours of the tower and vaults will go ahead as usual. An information centre about the renovation work will also open shortly at the main entrance.
NEWS FROM ST MARIEN
For 800 years, St Marien has been a place of worship for the citizens of Lübeck, where they celebrate church services and other city events. It is here that people find hope and form their identity.
The church is open 365 days a year: for you and all those seeking God. Lübeck's council, merchant and citizens' church is a place for worship and prayer, art and culture, discussion and conversation, volunteering and commitment. For Lübeck, its people and for the glory of God.
INTO THE FUTURE
Following the reconstruction of the church 80 years ago, a major renovation is now underway. The windows, paintings, masonry and temperature control are just some of the extensive tasks involved. You can find all the information about this major project on our blog.

NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES IN LÜBECK CITY CENTRE
The churches in Lübeck's city centre, built in the Romanesque and Brick Gothic styles, not only shape the city's skyline, known as the Stadtkrone (city crown), but also the cultural life of the city's society. Strong traditions have their place here: music, seafaring, spirituality, art and liturgy, worship culture and diaconal commitment. An incomparable diversity, shaped by the people of Lübeck. With plenty of space and joyful anticipation for enthusiastic supporters.
