Neubrandenburg Concert Church
As a concert church, St.
Mary’s Church offers a unique contrast—from a sublime acoustic experience to a remarkable architectural one. Outside: a Gothic brick church. Inside: a concert hall made of glass, concrete, steel, and wood. Construction began in the early 13th century as a fieldstone structure; in 1298, St. Mary’s Church was consecrated by the Bishop of Havelberg. It was almost completely destroyed during World War II and has been owned by the city since 1975. In 2001, the building was inaugurated as a concert hall with a performance by the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic. The design is by Finnish architect Pekka Salminen. The building has remained a historic landmark of the city, though its use has changed. Whether it’s a philharmonic concert, opera, musical, ballet, reading, or recital—all genres find a unique performance atmosphere and their own special acoustics here. In June 2007, a permanent special exhibition titled “Paths to Brick Gothic—Defense and Decoration in Neubrandenburg” opened in the tower of the Konzertkirche. Since July 2017, the “Queen of Instruments”—a new organ with 2,852 pipes—has played a key role in shaping the concert program. The climb up to the balustrade via the belfry offers an impressive view of the “City of Four Gates” on Lake Tollense.
Neubrandenburg Concert Church – the historic St. Mary’s Church as a concert hall
The Neubrandenburg Concert Church is one of the most unusual cultural venues in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. What appears from the outside to be an early 13th-century Gothic brick church houses a modern concert hall made of glass, concrete, steel, and wood—designed by Finnish architect Pekka Salminen. The original St. Mary’s Church was consecrated in 1298 by the Bishop of Havelberg, was almost completely destroyed during World War II, and has been used as a concert hall since 2001. Since then, it has been an integral part of cultural life in the “City of Four Gates” on Lake Tollense.
Philharmonic, organ, and Brick Gothic exhibition under one roof
The Konzertkirche’s program includes philharmonic concerts, opera, musicals, ballet, readings, and recitals—all genres benefit from the venue’s exceptional acoustics. Since July 2017, a new organ with 2,852 pipes has played a key role in shaping the concert program. Since 2007, the permanent exhibition “Paths to Brick Gothic – Defense and Decoration in Neubrandenburg” in the church tower has invited visitors to explore. The climb up the bell loft to the balustrade offers an impressive panoramic view of Neubrandenburg. Those who appreciate the region’s Brick Gothic tradition will find similar examples in Stralsund, Greifswald, or Wismar.

Behmshöhe observation tower
● Neubrandenburg
Want to see the four-gate city of Neubrandenburg from above? The Behmshöhe observation tower offers an impressive view. On the initiative of the association for the promotion of tourism at the time, an attraction was to be created in Nemerower Holz. In 1897, the town fathers decided to build a lookout tower, which was opened to the public in 1905. The 34-metre-high tower stands on Behmshöhe and offers a magnificent view of the clear Lake Tollensesee and the surrounding hilly landscape. To reach the viewing area, 111 steps have to be climbed - the magnificent view is well worth the effort. The Behmshöhe observation tower is not accessible for people with limited mobility. Opening times: From mid-April to mid-November daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
