<p>Lübeck Germany<br />
St Marien Cathedral<br />
<br />
The origins of St Marien are closely linked to the development of the city of Lübeck. There was already a market church around 1160, shortly after the city was founded on its current site. It was initially the sole parish church of the city. Nobody knows today what it looked like. It was probably made of wood.<br />
<br />
Lübeck became an episcopal city in 1160. When the first cathedral was consecrated in 1163, St Marien was placed under the jurisdiction of the canons. Early on, the city council fought for a say. St Marien remained the church of the leading citizens and the council, even after the other parishes were founded.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the 13th century, St Marien was a Romanesque basilica.<br />
<br />
In 1251, rebuilding began in the style of a Gothic cathedral. Initially a hall church was planned, but then a high Gothic basilica with enormous dimensions was realised. The vaults span the impressive central nave at a height of 38.5 metres and the two towers reach 125 metres.<br />
<br />
They were modelled on the great French cathedrals, above all those of Reims and Soissons. However, this meant that the Lübeck master builders had to reinvent the Gothic style to a certain extent. There were no quarries worth mentioning in the north German plain. The mighty, towering forms of the Gothic style had to be realised here with small bricks fired from clay.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the 14th century, the burghers and the bishop were in constant dispute. The fact that the citizens of Lübeck had the confidence to build a church out of brick that was larger than the nearby cathedral shows how self-confident and wealthy these citizens were in the 13th and 14th centuries.</p>
