The Marktkitrhe in Hanover's Old Town (Germany).

The Market Church of Sts. George and James is the main Lutheran church in Hanover, and was built during the 1300s.  The roof and the vaults of the naves were destroyed during an air raid in 1943, and were restored in 1952.

The Marktkitche is a hallenkirche (hall church) – a church whose nave and side aisles are about the same length, and are often covered by a single roof.  A hallenkirche is lit through windows in the side walls that usually span the full length of the interior.

Above the nave and aisles rises a monumental saddleback roof – a roof with a ridge and two sloping sides, producing a gable at each each end.  The high western tower of the church is one of the highest towers in Lower Saxony, and one of Hanover's landmarks.
