St Marien is one of the most magnificent cathedrals, a fragile masterpiece that requires constant care.
Give and Donate
Together for St Marien
Restoration and conservation work, operation and maintenance cost thousands of euros per day - our entrance fees only cover a small part of these daily costs. We therefore rely on generous support to preserve this magnificent cathedral for future generations. Donations, collections and endowments for special purposes and tasks in the church and diaconia: it is only through these financial resources that the projects of our church community are made possible.
We look forward to your support. Please provide your full contact details for the donation receipt.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

A STRONG TEAM
A church community lives through the voluntary commitment of many people. This is particularly true for St Marien with its enormous historical building fabric and its diverse tasks in the city. Our more than 120 volunteers contribute their talents to one of Lübeck's landmarks in numerous places, sometimes in the foreground, sometimes in the background.
Our governing body, the parish council, is also made up of volunteers.

Volunteering in a church?
In St Marien, you are surrounded by living history. Not like in a museum where history is only on display, but here you are right where history happened and is still happening today. And I like to pass on this enthusiasm through my voluntary work.
