Review:

St Nicholas church was built in 1165 in the center of town, at the junction of two important trade routes. The original architectural style was Romanesque and Gothic enlargements were made in the 16th century. The Baroque tower and portal were added in the 18th century. The congregation converted to Protestantism during the reformation and it is said that Martin Luther preached there. Johan Sebastian Bach was music director during the 18th century and several of his compositions debuted at the church. The Monday Demonstrations which ultimately led to the fall of the Berlin wall, started as prayer meetings at St Nicholas.
