Helen of the Palatinate (9 February 1493, Heidelberg – 4 August 1524, Schwerin) was a member of the Palatinate-Simmern branch of House of Wittelsbach and a Countess Palatine of Simmern by birth and by marriage Duchess of Mecklenburg.

She married on 15 June 1513 in Wismar with Duke Henry V of Mecklenburg (1479–1552).

Fineke von Greese had to be told not to wear her best dress, so as not to outshine the bride.

[1] The wedding had a splendor never seen before, and many imperial princes attended.

Until 1845, it was attached to the wall behind the altar; today it is located in the south passage, next to the entrance.
