A Gothic Lutheran church just east of the Krämerbrücke, the Predigerkirche (Preachers' Church) was built by the Dominican order in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is one of the best examples of Mendicant Gothic architecture in Germany — the long, single-naved form with high windows designed to flood the space with light for preaching.
The interior is relatively spare but contains some fine medieval carved works and stained glass. The church is still used for concerts and services. Its position at the eastern end of the Krämerbrücke makes it a natural stopping point during a walk through the old town. The exterior, with its high red-brick walls and lancet windows, is particularly striking in late afternoon light.
