St. Mark's Church, Wittlich
Highlight • Religious Site
The present parish church, located in the historic city center, was built between 1709 and 1723 under Archbishops Johann Hugo von Orsbeck and Franz-Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg and is under the protection of the parish patron, St. Mark.
The church was not formally consecrated until 1727. It is a four-bay pillar basilica in a mixture of post-Gothic and simple early Baroque forms, divided into a nave and two side aisles. A three-story tower with a curved dome houses the bells at the west end.
The high altar was acquired in 1749 from the Dominican Church in Koblenz. The high-quality choir stalls on the south wall were built around 1770, those on the north wall were recreated around 1820, and both were expanded again in 1927. The side altars in the side aisles, dating from 1747, were made by the court carpenter Conrad Fischer.
The organ case from 1769, crafted by Peter and Nikel Schreiber, has been preserved. The organ was rebuilt in 1848 by Wilhelm Breidenfeld of Trier and in 1958 by the organ builder Johannes Klais of Bonn. It has 38 stops distributed across three manuals and the pedals.
The baptismal font was created in 1727 by the Koblenz sculptor Lorenz Staudacher. Among the many figurative works of art distributed throughout the church, the 15th-century wooden figure of St. John the Baptist stands out. The freestanding altar table (1971) and the ambo (1976), with their tree of life symbolism, are works by the Wittlich sculptor Hans Scherl.
The church windows were created after the war, between 1949 and 1952, as coordinated cycles. In the north aisle, they depict scenes from the Old Testament (by Alois Stettner and Prof. Heinrich Dieckmann), and in the south aisle, New Testament depictions of saints (by Prof. Dieckmann and Maurice Rocher). The choir windows by Prof. Georg Meistermann depict the high feasts of the liturgical year: Christmas, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.

Highlight • Historical Site
Opposite the Old Town Hall stands today's Hotel Well. The magnificent Renaissance building was formerly known as "Zum Wolf." Next to it is a simple 18th-century Baroque building, the former Neuerburg House. The Baroque building on the long side was built as a post office in 1753 by the Fier family.
