In addition to the town hall and the overwhelming number of half-timbered houses, the comparatively simple church here almost fades a little.

The steeple began to lean so much that a retaining wall was added in 1741.

The market church of St. Jacobi, which has been a listed building since 1988, is located on Einbeck's market square. It is known for its 65 m high leaning church tower, which stands 1.5 m from the perpendicular and is called the "leaning tower of Einbeck". As early as 1741, the tower was given a baroque supporting facade due to its lateral inclination.

The Gothic church is the smaller of the two Evangelical Lutheran parish churches in Einbeck. It was first reliably mentioned in a document in 1327.
A reference to a second smaller church next to St. Alexandri can be found as early as 1238.
Based on the construction of the nave, probably around 1270, the church has been steadily expanded over time and regularly renovated.
