St. Mary's Museum | Müntzer Memorial
Mühlhausen's impressive Marienkirche with the highest church tower in Thuringia is visible far beyond the city limits. In its function as Müntzer memorial, museum as well as meeting place with religion and culture, the Marienkirche is closely connected with the fate of the city and its citizens.
The exhibition areas in the building, which was secularized in 1975 and has since been used as a museum, offer a diverse range of exhibits. For example, a separate area in the chapels is dedicated to the radical reformer and former preacher of St. Mary's Church, Thomas Müntzer.
