Marienkirche with the Church Fountain and the Museum of Natural Sciences
You are standing in front of Reutlingen’s most imposing edifice: Marienkirche. This masterpiece of gothic architecture was built between 1247 and 1343 and was declared a “national cultural monument” in 1988. According to legend, while being besieged by a foreign army, the citizens of Reutlingen prayed to the Virgin Mary for assistance, promising to build a church in her honour. After the siege was lifted, the citizens of Reutlingen commenced work on the church; the building of the church was completed after 96 years.
