Domkirche St. Marien

The current cathedral is the successor to a medieval Hamburg Cathedral, which existed in the Old Town until 1807 and was once the co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Bremen-Hamburg. After the Reformation, this cathedral formed an enclave under various external ecclesiastical authorities until it was finally demolished in the early 19th century. The present St. Marien Cathedral was constructed from 1889 to 1893 as a Roman Catholic parish church. It was the first new Catholic church built in Hamburg since the Reformation. Its consecration took place on June 28, 1893. During World War II, the building suffered damage, particularly to its windows and parts of the roof. After the war, a vibrant community life developed, leading to St. Marien Church functioning as an episcopal church from 1957. With the re-establishment of the Archdiocese of Hamburg in 1995, it officially became the cathedral church. Between 2007 and 2008, extensive renovation and modernization took place, redesigning the altar area and adding a cathedral sacristy to meet the requirements of a cathedral.

St. Marien Cathedral is located in the St. Georg district of Hamburg, Germany.

Today, St. Marien Cathedral serves as the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Hamburg and is an active center of community life. It is a protected cultural monument.
