    Tips

    September 27, 2021

    The Nikolaikirche was in the 13./14. It was built in the 18th century and until 1945 shone with, among other things, a magnificent, twisted pointed tower, a so-called Gothic pointed helmet over 100 meters high. This looks impressive on old pictures. Unfortunately, and absolutely pitiful, large parts of the church were destroyed by German grenade bombardment of the city, which was already occupied by Russia, on April 29, 1945, the last day of the war in Anklam. The spire and gable roof collapsed. In the post-war period, the ruins fell into disrepair more and more over five decades. It was not until 1995 (!!!) that the remaining building structure was secured, the nave was provided with an emergency roof. Reconstruction measures have been taking place since 2010, including restoring the roof and installing new windows, but it will be a long time before the building may shine again. It is both depressing and very vivid to look at the bare ground of the nave. Interestingly, the still standing tower body is used for tourism. For a fee of 4 euros, you can climb up to a height of 55 meters via two intermediate levels, which is rewarded with a fantastic view over the city. Especially the views to the west over the winding Peene are wonderful.

      Everything has already been said about the history of the church - there is currently construction going on around the church and the area around the church is cordoned off...

        Built in 1280 in honor of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of seafarers, fishermen and traders in high Gothic architecture, the Nikolaikirche became the landmark of the city of Anklam and a symbol of the freedom and prosperity of the Hanseatic citizens. The church tower - once pilot signs greeted the sailors far on the Oderhaff.
