went according to plan. By April 2019, three of the seven bays had been completed, and by August 2019, five. The reconstruction of the vaults was completed as planned in 2020. On 14 January 2020, the last keystone of the vaults was set. On 17 May 2020, a service was held to mark the completion of the vaults in the neighbouring church of St Jacob. After completion of the work on the gallery and the organ, the restored interior of
Marienkirche will be used for services again in autumn 2021.
