    "One of the most beautiful examples of North German brick Gothic is the former administration and residential building of the archdeacon (episcopal deputy in the church of the Middle Ages). The stepped gable on the north side is richly structured and decorated with wind holes. The lavish building decor consists of the typical North German brick Gothic glazed bricks and shaped stones.
    During a second renovation in 2008/2009, dendrochronological investigations on the oldest surviving roof structures of the building revealed that the archdeaconate in Wismar was built shortly after 1400 and not, as previously assumed, in the middle of the 15th century.

      A beautiful Gothic building - the Archdeaconate (originally the Archdeacon's residence) from the 15th century. It was damaged when the Marienkirche was blown up, but was artistically rebuilt by 1963.
      In addition to the Marienkirchturm, the archdeacon's house is the last relic on Marienkirchplatz.

        The two-storey brick building was erected in the middle of the 15th century as the chapel of Our Lady, modeled on the old school that was destroyed in 1945, presumably based on plans by H. Münster. Dendrochronological investigations in 2008 and 2009 provided evidence that construction began shortly after 1400 and not, as previously assumed, in the middle of the 15th century. The building, which was restored between 1880 and 1885 on the initiative of Johann Joachim Hartwig Meyer, was originally twice as long.
        It was badly damaged in 1945 during the Second World War and rebuilt from 1962 to 1963 according to old plans, the southern gable was added in a simplified form. The windows on the ground floor are in segmental arched niches decorated with tracery above. The six-axis eaves side on the upper floor is divided into blind niches by small windows. The arcature of the eaves was covered with battlements. The three-piece stepped gable on the north side is also crowned with battlements. The windows of the upper floor have been drawn into the screen structure. The rich building decor consists mainly of glazed bricks and molded stones. During the renovation, the entrance and the stairwell were moved from the original location, and solid ceilings and partition walls were reinstalled in the interior. The interior of the archdiaconate now houses the state superintendent of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mecklenburg and a meeting place for children and young people. In addition to the Marienkirchturm, the archdeacon's house is the last medieval building on Marienkirchplatz.

          Archdeaconate
          Middle of the 15th century built; originally served as the residence of the archdeacon. One of the most beautiful Gothic secular buildings in the city due to the rich design of the northern stepped gable and the western eaves. The main design elements are the alternation between glazed and unglazed bricks and the numerous uses of shaped stones. Extensive restoration in 1885. 1945 by bombs, in 1960 by the detonation of St. Mariens badly damaged. 1961 restoration and partial reconstruction.

            A magnificent example of North German brick Gothic architecture is the former residence and administrative building of the archdeacon, the bishop's representative in the medieval church. Of particular importance is the richly structured stepped gable decorated with wind holes on the north side of the building, which was built around 1407/1408. In addition to the Marienkirche tower, the lavishly renovated archdeaconry is today the last medieval building on Marienkirchplatz.

              As the former residence of the archdeacon, it was built around 1450 in the style of North German brick Gothic. Like many other Gothic buildings around the Marienkirche tower, the archdeaconry was badly damaged in World War II and reconstructed at great expense. Of particular importance is the richly structured stepped gable on the north side, decorated with wind holes.

                The Achideacon once lived here - the building is at the entrance to Sargmacherstraße, which leads directly to the church square of the Marienkirche.
                It was damaged when the church was blown up, but it still looks very impressive after the repairs.
