In 1834 the pulpit altar with 14 late Gothic saints was built. It was built from the winged altar that used to stand on the square . In the chancel there are two epitaphs and other grave slabs of former patronage and manor lords .
The carved figure of Mourning John from the church, created in 1170, has been kept in the Predigerkirche in Eisenach since 1917 . The duplicate is in Braunsdorf .
