The honorary mayor Eberhard Fuß was re-elected on June 6, 2010.

Markus Gerstung emerged victorious from the runoff election on November 13, 2016 and accepted the election. At the age of 23, Gerstung is currently (as of November 2016) the youngest mayor of Thuringia.

Village church

One of the places of interest is the Protestant village church ( location → ). As can be seen from an inscription on the lintel of the lower door, it was built in 1732. On the "back wall" of the church, which is said to come from the earlier chapel, parts of old frescoes are still visible behind the organ. The church was painted in 1756. The altar and the font from 1804 come from 1778. The depiction of the painting Luther with the swan above the main entrance goes back to the Czech reformer Jan Hus . The pictures on the church ceiling show the following biblical motifs: Abraham with Isaac , Mary with the baby Jesus , Jesus in Gethsemani , Jesus on the cross and The Risen One .

From the organ, which was older than the church, the prospectus , which was expanded in 1794, was retained, into which a new work with eight registers was built in 1985 . It has the following dispositions : Gedackt 8 ', Principal 4', Reed Flute 4 ', Forest Flute 2', Sif Flute 1 ', Mixture 3f. In the pedal : Subbass 16´, octave bass 8´ (see also → List of organ registers ).

On the western wall under the stairs there is a cross, which was probably made around 1500. Above the staircase to the Läutboden you can read: “The war has been taken away, peace will come back, God be praise, honor and praise. Now the sun shines on us and brings bliss after tears. Therefore praise God with the greatest diligence. 1814, April 17th ”. The church was equipped with electric light on the second Sunday of Advent in 1926. The last interior renovation took place in 1964/65. The ceiling paintings, painted over in 1894, could be exposed again. In 1989, shortly before the fall of the Wall , a new oak staircase to the gallery was built, in 1991 the candlesticks followed on the walls. The tower houses three bells: a bronze bell by Johann Melchior Derck , who cast it in Meinigen in 1735. It survived its storage in the bell cemetery and returned on August 8, 1950. There are also two steel bells hanging in the tower, which were cast in Bochum in 1921 . The bell has been operated electrically since 1992. The last renovation work on the church took place in the summer of 1996, when its exterior was renovated.
