St. Marien Church Marienberg

After the town's Protestant Christians received a blockhouse church in the Reformation year of 1537, it was demolished for the new construction of the Marienkirche. After the foundation stone was laid in April 1558, the new church was consecrated in February 1564. Construction management was started by Wolf Blechschmidt from Pirna and was taken over by Christoph Kölbel from Plauen in 1560. During a city fire on August 31, 1610, the church building burned down to the outer walls, the tower and the later sacristy. From 1611 to 1616 it received a ceiling, pillars and galleries made of wood. From 1616, services were held again in the church and the triumphal cross was erected. A new altar was erected in 1617. The wooden pillars and the wooden ceiling were replaced by Andreas Klengel from 1669 to 1675 with Tuscan stone columns and cross vaults with stuccoed ribs.

The late Gothic hall church St.Marien was consecrated in 1564.

The St. Marien Church in Marienberg is an Evangelical Lutheran church in the southeast of the Erzgebirge district. It is the youngest of the three late Gothic hall churches in the Ore Mountains.
