The Church of St. Mary and Severus is a Gothic branch church of the parish of the parish church of St. Blaise in Fulda. The church was built as a foundation by the citizen Erasmus Kämmerer in the years 1438 to 1445 as a "new church" in the Gothic style. In 1451 it became the guild chapel for the wool weavers who worshiped St. Severus of Ravenna as patron saint - at that time Fulda’s greatest guild. It was renovated from 1616 and served from 1620 to 1623 as the first monastery church of the Franciscans who were called to Fulda. The Fulda Benedictines briefly served the building as a church in 1626. After the Reformation, Catholic worship only took place in the church on Severiberg. From 1722 to 1882 it was the parish church of the garrison. Since 1836, services have been held in the Severikirche for the neighboring former teacher training college, and since 1896 the Marienheim der Vinzentinerinnen.
