At the same time, it is also the youngest church building and is considered the miracle of Wismar.

The Alte Schule was a building in Wismar, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It belonged to the "Gothic Quarter", which was concentrated around St. Mary's Church until its almost complete destruction in the Second World War. The architectural signature of the Hanseatic era was pronounced here like in hardly any other northern German city. The delicately designed facades were an important example of Gothic brick art in the early 14th century. The old school with a two-storey elevation stood west of the church of St. Mary, whose tower still stands today.

The New Church is a listed church building on the St. Mary's Cemetery in Wismar in the district of Nordwestmecklenburg (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). The nave of the nearby St. Mary's Church was unusable due to war damage, and so an emergency church had to be built for the parishioners of St. Mary's Church and St. George's Church, which was also badly damaged, which was originally intended as a temporary solution. This transitional solution still exists today; the church serves the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Wismar St. Marien/St. Georgen in the Provost of Wismar, church district of Mecklenburg of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany.
