Culture and sights
- The oldest piggy bank found in Germany comes from Billeben. So far, research has assumed that it originated between the 11th and 15th centuries. The high medieval sculpture with a length of around 20 cm is in the depot of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar .
- The Evangelical Church of St. Petri is essentially a Romanesque choir tower church . It underwent changes in the 15th century, 1656 and the 18th century. Ludwig Günther II ordered the construction of 1656 because of the dilapidated condition. He had a collection written out in his part of the country and asked his brother Anton Günther I to do the same in his part of the country. Interior renovations took place in the 18th century and in 1936. The two-axis hall church has a buttress-like transition to the tower. On the south side, as on the south side of the tower, there are late Gothic arched curtain windows . The original sound openings function as round and ogival twin windows . The half-timbered bell storey is crowned with a lantern roof . Inside there is a wooden barrel and a two-storey three-sided gallery . While the pulpit is from 1774, the bells are from 1653 and 1799. These broke a total of three times and were cast in 1799, 1827 and 1844.
