Heiliggeistkirche
The Heiliggeistkirche on the old market square, is a superb old Gothic church (1398-1441). From 1706 to 1936 there was a wall between the part used by Protestants and that used by Catholics; today, it's a Protestant place of worship. You can climb the 204 steps to the top of the church spire.
