Church of Our Lady

In german, "Frauenkirche", with a piece of Hauptmarkt and the farmers' market. Germans don't usually hang the german flag from their windows, but this picture was taken a few days before the european soccer world cup started, and for sports events flags are ok these days.

The area now covered by the Hauptmarkt was in medieval times the jewish ghetto. It was destroyed in 1349 (sic) and turned from low-lying, muddy, narrow streets near the river into a market place for the growing city. The Frauenkirche was built on the ruins of the destroyed synagoge.
