St.
Mary’s Church is a late Romanesque-Gothic hall church, the oldest parts of which date back to the 13th century. Notable features include medieval frescoes, an early Gothic baptismal font, a statue of the Virgin Mary from the former high altar dating from the 15th century, parts of the family altar from the 15th century, epitaphs from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and remnants of the choir stalls from the destroyed St. Nicholas Church. The large Schurke organ was installed in 1962. In addition to church services, the church also hosts concerts by the St. Mary’s Choir.
Late Romanesque-Gothic hall church in the heart of Anklam
St. Mary’s Church in Anklam is one of the most significant medieval religious buildings in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The hall church, whose oldest parts date back to the 13th century, combines Late Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements and continues to shape the cityscape of Anklam—a small town in the Peene Valley, not far from the island of Usedom and Greifswald Bay on the Baltic Sea coast.
Medieval frescoes, a Gothic baptismal font, and valuable works of art
Inside St. Mary’s Church are remarkable art treasures: medieval frescoes adorn the walls, and an early Gothic baptismal font attests to the church’s great age. A statue of the Virgin Mary from the former high altar and parts of the family altar date from the 15th century. In addition, there are epitaphs from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as remnants of the choir stalls from the destroyed St. Nicholas Church, which transform the church’s interior into a small museum of the city’s history.
The Schurke Organ and Concerts by the St. Marien Choir
Since 1962, the grand Schurke organ has been playing at St. Marien, lending the church special musical significance. In addition to regular church services, St. Marien Church serves as a venue for the St. Marien Kantorei, making it a vibrant cultural hub in the region.

Regio - The regional store Anklam
● Anklam
Regional...first choice. Range of regional products that are produced and refined in the immediate vicinity of Anklam. The Regionalladen Anklam offers a wide range of regional products from the immediate vicinity of Anklam. Not only can you shop here, but you can also enjoy fresh coffee, delicious cakes and snacks. It's well worth a visit! There are many reasons why it is worth buying regional products. Here are some important points: - The transportation routes of regional food are shorter. This in turn saves a lot of CO2 compared to imported products that have to travel long distances. - Some products also need to be refrigerated during transportation. The shorter the distances, the lower the energy consumption. - Short transportation routes also mean more freshness. The time between harvest and sale is significantly shorter than for imported goods. Taste is also an important aspect of fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are usually harvested unripe so that they can withstand long transportation routes. The situation is different with regional, seasonal fruit and vegetables. The shorter transportation routes mean they can be harvested when ripe. This makes the fruit and vegetables taste much more intense. - Buying regional food also supports the local economy.
Nikolai Church Anklam
● Anklam
The Nikolai Church in the center of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, very close to the Peene River, is one of the few surviving witnesses to the brick Gothic style from the 750 years since Anklam was founded. The gallery of "Hanseatic coat of arms windows" in the Nikolaikirche is a unique monument in Europe. The Nikolaikirche was built in honor of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, fishermen and merchants in Gothic-Hanseatic architecture and was completed in the second half of the 15th century. The church had been the city's landmark for centuries and a symbol of the freedom and prosperity of the Hanseatic citizens. The 103 m high church tower - once a pilot's mark - greeted sailors from far away on the Oderhaff. During the bombing of Anklam at the end of the Second World War, the church was completely destroyed apart from the surrounding walls. In 1994, the Friends of St. Nicholas' Church Anklam e. V. was founded to prevent the impending decay. Since 1995, the church has been gradually rebuilt. The building was already open to the public again in 1999. Today, the former baptistery is Lilienthal's exhibition and event venue. Changing exhibitions are dedicated to the "dream of flight" and the son of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, Otto Lilienthal. The church tower is now accessible again and leads to the highest vantage point in the town. From there, the Peene Valley can be admired in all its beauty. In the future, the "Ikareum" project, an event and visitor center connected to the Otto Lilienthal Museum, is to be realized in the church. The Nikolaikirche Anklam is open from May to October. The Otto Lilienthal Museum also offers guided tours of the church.
