description

Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of seafarers, traveling merchants and children. He was a "fashion saint" especially in the 12th and 13th centuries, so that there are simple village churches, town churches, mendicant churches, mining churches as well as merchant churches that are dedicated to St. Nicholas are consecrated. St. Nicholas patronage can be found in churches in almost all German, Baltic and Russian port and Hanseatic cities , including inland in former merchant quarters . The spread of the patronage in Europe began in the 11th century with the transfer of the relics of St. Nikolaus von Myra to Bari in Italy in 1087. The long-distance trade that arose resulted in a network of merchant settlements in which the traders sold their churches to St. Nikolaus consecrated (after Karlheinz Blaschke, see literature ; critical of this Fred Sobik).

First, the Nikolauskirchen in the (predominantly) German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland are mentioned, then other countries follow in alphabetical order.
