The two square yokes of the nave of today's Katharinenkirche date from the first half of the 13th century . Around 1425, possibly earlier, the Gothic choir with a 3/8 end was added. In 1783 the ship was extended to the west by a yoke half the depth of the other two and the west tower was added. The yoke division on the buttress can be seen from the outside .

In the two older yokes there are groin vaults over wide, round arched belt arches . A pointed triumphal arch connects to the choir. The newer yoke is equipped with cross vaults .
