Or Marienkirche: the biggest one, a fine brick Gothic building near the Rathaus (city hall) at the centre of the Altstadt.
The Lübeck Marienkirche is a medieval basilica in the city centre of Lübeck, Germany. Built between 1265 and 1352, the church is located on the highest point of Lübeck's old town island within the Hanseatic merchants' quarter, which extends uphill from the warehouses on the River Trave to the church. As the main parish church of the citizens and the city council of Lübeck, it was built close to the town hall and the market. The church was almost destroyed by Royal Air Force bombs in 1942, and reconstructed between 1947 and 1959.

city hall
Its architecture is a stylistic potpourri reaching back to the 12th century. It is still the seat of the city administration and not a museum, so you can't have a look inside on your own. But there are guided tours every hour or so where the many historic rooms and the gallery of city leaders' portraits are explained (in German and possibly other languages).
Dedicated to the brothers Thomas and Heinrich Mann, who spent their youth there. It contains many of their works. Closed until 2023.
