St. Nicholas Church, Lippstadt

Highlight • Religious Site

From the first construction phase of the St. Nicolai Church in Lippstadt, only the bell tower from the 12th century has been preserved. This initially functioned as a defense tower. The single and double arched windows, which are still predominantly Romanesque, are the only decorative elements of the otherwise rather massive tower. It houses the city's three oldest bells, which date back to the 13th century.
On the other hand, the three-nave hall church and the choir room come from the second construction phase (1872) and are characterized by the neo-Gothic style. The new building became necessary due to dilapidation. In 1891 the church was consecrated by the auxiliary bishop of Paderborn.
One of the most important elements in the interior is the organ with 3815 pipes. It has been restored and rebuilt several times and has existed in its current form since 2005.

Bürgerbrunnen on Rathausplatz

Highlight • Monument

The water pours into the fountain from the Lippe rose, which has been part of the city's coat of arms and seal since the city was founded. The coats of arms of the former Lippstadt sovereigns are shown below. Nine movable bronze figures represent people from Lippstadt's more than 800-year history.

The figures show Bernhard II (nobleman zur Lippe), Friedrich the Great (King of Prussia), Mayor Friedrich Bertram, Amalie Elisabeth (Von Hessen-Kassel), Dr. Johannes Westermann (reformer), Simplizius Simplizissimus (fictional character), as well as the merchant, the farmer's wife and the tanner (as important groups of citizens in the city).

The fountain is a symbol of real citizenship, as it was financed solely by donations. The Aachen artist Bonifatius Stirnberg created it for the 800th anniversary of the city in 1985.

Große Marienkirche Lippstadt

Highlight • Religious Site

The Protestant Great Marienkirche is a Grade II listed church building in Lippstadt. Probably was around 1205, shortly after the founding of the city started the construction of a cross-shaped basilica. A beam in the flank tower on the north side comes after a dendrochronological investigation from the time around 1200. The construction sections in the east were probably built under the influence of the city's founder Count Bernhard II. Some time later, the nave was rebuilt to become the Münsterland stage hall. An additional one was added to the two existing east towers in the west. The construction was finished around 1250. The late Gothic hall choir was created from 1478 to 1506. The Baroque dome of the west tower, which was completed in the second half of the 13th century, dating back to 1684. [2] The construction of the chapel, sacristy and hall choir was completed in 1478. During the renovation from 1964 to 1972, the floors in the ambulatory and in the nave were lowered to their original level; Vault paintings and murals of the 16th century were revealed. A renewed restoration took place from 1992 to 1997. The slaughtered, multi-part construction of quarry stone is structured with stone. The smooth nave walls are divided on the north side by four round-arched, on the south side by three high, pointed-arched windows with fish bubble measure. The fronts of the transept are elaborately structured.
