moulded-brick tracery ; in tlie churches of Wismar, in the Marien
Kirche at Prenzlau, where the west gable is the most elaborate in
Korth Germany, and in other churches in Neu-Brandenburg, Anclam,
and other towns.
The form of church tower found in Lüneberg, and indeed generally
in the district, is a modifîcation of that at Paderborn (AYoodcut No.
706), and is well exemplified by that in the Kœblinger Strasse at
Hanover (Woodcut IS'o. 772). It is an honest and purpose-like piece
of architecture, but without much pretension to beauty of design.

Further east in Ermeland, as Eastern Prussia used to be called,
there are many brick buildings, which from their picturesqueness and
the appropriateness of their form half clisarm the critic. Among these,
forinstance, such a church as that of Frauenburg (Woodcut No. 773),
with its light graceful spires and its brick tracery in its gables, is an
object, if not of grandeur, at least of considerable beauty in itself, and
in this instance is grouped with so many others as to form a more
picturesque combination than is usually to be met with on the shores
of the Baltic. The church itself is 300 ft. long by 80 in width, and
has three aisles in the nave, of equal height but unequal width. Its
