St. Mary to the Willows
St. Marien zu den Weiden was a brick Gothic chapel in the Hanseatic city of Wismar .
From St. Mary to the pastures or in Latin St. Maria sub salice , neither the reason nor the time of construction is known. The small chapel was first attested in 1324 in the churchyard of the Marienkirche . It was a rectangular structure with three cross vaults, which had been built from glazed brickwork in the manner of high Gothic under a hipped roof. It contained an altar and the family crypt of the established patrician family Bantzkow. With this family, the chapel moved into the light of regional history when the executed mayor of the city Johann Bantzkow was buried here in 1427 . The grave was later moved to the Marienkirche because the chapel was needed to cast a bell. In the 19th century it was used for a different purpose as a storage shed, restored in 1934 to become a National Socialist ancestral hall and finally during the bombing on 14/15. Badly damaged April 1945. The remains were demolished soon after.
