Services have been held in the Market Church for more than 750 years.
It was during the economic heyday of the Hanseatic City of Hanover in the 14th century: towering high above the roofs of the low, often thatched houses of the old town, the imposing brick-Gothic hall church was built.
But its history goes back even further.
The mighty column foundations of a presumably richly decorated Romanesque predecessor, probably built around 1125, give today's Bödeker Hall
in the basement of the church a very unique aura.

The Market Church was first documented in 1238.
It became Protestant in 1536.
It acquired its current simple character, characterized by the natural tone of the bricks,
during its reconstruction after the destruction of the Second World War.

Built in the middle of the 14th century, the market church is still a landmark of the city of Hanover today. It was rebuilt in the early 1950s after its destruction during the war.
The old town hall is in the immediate vicinity of the church.

The Protestant market church was built in the 14th century.

The market church is the highlight of Hanover's old town. Along with the Old Town Hall, the church is considered the southernmost renowned piece of North German brick Gothic.

After its destruction in the Second World War, the market church was rebuilt in 1952. The west portal was designed by sculptor Gerhard Marcks and contains motifs from the saddest chapter in German history.

The German Michel is buried in the market church. Johann Michael von Obentraut fought at the head of a German-Danish army against the general Tilly in the Thirty Years' War and was fatally wounded in 1625. Ritter Obentraut was nicknamed “The German Michel”.
