St. Elisabeth Chapel (Tangermünde)
The St. Elisabeth Chapel is a chapel in Tangermünde that is used today as a concert and exhibition hall .
The brick chapel was built in the second half of the 15th century. A hospital was originally attached to the south side of the chapel, but it was destroyed in a town fire in 1617 . The chapel was then used as a royal salt store, which gave it the nickname “Salt Church”, which is still used today. In the 18th century the building was used to house the assembly chamber of the Tangermünde garrison.
In 1888 or 1891 the Catholic parish Tangermünde bought the chapel. After some repair work, the chapel was inaugurated again as a Catholic church on October 25, 1891 and was in use until the Holy Trinity Church was commissioned in 1926. It was then used sporadically for occasional celebrations. From the mid-1950s the chapel served as a storage room.
An extensive and costly renovation took place from 1992 to 1997. Since then the chapel has been used as a concert and exhibition hall.
