St. Mary's Church (German: Marienkirche) in the town of Mühlhausen, central Germany, is the second-largest church building in Thuringia after Erfurt Cathedral.
Being principally constructed in the 14th century, it is considered a masterpiece of the Gothic style.
The church's central spire, at 86.7 m (284 ft 5 in) height, is the highest in the state and forms a significant feature of the town's skyline.
St. Mary's was a centre of the 1525 German Peasants' War, since the revolutionary leader Thomas Müntzer was active as a pastor at the church.
