Rostock: Die Nikolaikirche

One-time use of a desecrated church. Apartments have been built into the church roof since the 1980s and cultural events and concerts take place in the church hall.

The only church I know with a doorbell and an intercom at the church portal.

The Nikolaikirche of the Hanseatic City of Rostock was built from 1230 and is therefore one of the oldest surviving hall churches in the Baltic Sea region. The Nikolaikirche is not a parish church and there are no Sunday services. It sees itself as a supra-congregational, spiritual and cultural center of the city, open to ecclesiastical and other cultural uses and is mostly used as a concert church.

In 1974 the parishes of St. Petri and St. Nikolai were merged and it was decided to give up the Nikolaikirche as a parish church. A comprehensive reconstruction took place from 1976. Offices and other service rooms for the church administration were built into the tower. An unusual project for the time was the installation of three residential floors in the rebuilt church roof. The roof turret at the eastern end of the nave was not rebuilt. However, the destroyed east gable of the nave was reconstructed.
