The Nikolaikirche is a good 10 minutes walk from the Markt in /the general direction of the Hauptbahnhof. The present brick Gothic church dates mostly from the 14th century and is of monumental proportions – the nave is the fourth-highest in Germany, at 37 m (122 feet). The west tower was only completed in 1508. The collapse of its slender ridge turret during a storm in 1703 led to the introduction of several Baroque elements on the repaired church.
The interior is filled with art – many pieces from the destroyed St Georgen and St Marienkirche found a new home here after 1945. The 1430 carved Gothic high altar is one of the largest in the region and over nine m wide (30 feet) when opened. The bronze baptismal font is about a century older. Opening hours are daily from May to September, 8 am to 8 pm, in April and October, 10 am to 6 pm, and from November to March, 11 am to 4 pm.
