history

The first mention of Laasdorf in 1323 is related to the Roda monastery . In addition, the landlords and the princely office of Burgau had possessions here. The Burgauer Amtsuntertanen are mentioned for the first time 1421-1425. After the abolition of the monastery during the Reformation in the 16th century, this portion came to the Roda office.

Attractions

Village church ( location → )

The Protestant church is the most important attraction of the place. It belongs as a branch church with Gernewitz to the parish Stadtroda in the parish of Eisenberg . In 1554 the pastor's office was Lehn of the monastery dean of Naumburg .

The orientation of the building (tower in the east), typical of the Christian pre-Reformation churches, suggests that the church was built on the foundations of the previous church. The hall church with roof tower (tower and nave form a roofed unit) was built using parts of the previous building in 1770/71. The slate-clad and also-roofed tower has a tail dome with a lantern on top , which is crowned by a tower button and a weather vane .

The equipment from the 18th century is almost completely preserved . The free-standing pulpit altar is the dominant element of the choir . Two late Gothic carved figures flank the pulpit, which was probably part of a medieval winged altar . The painting on the base of the altar table (“ Predella ”) from 1912 is the work of the Gera painter Paul Neidhardt and shows Jesus as a good shepherd .

The nave has a three-sided gallery ("horseshoe gallery"), the long sides of which have painted parapets. The short side of the gallery is limited by an openwork wooden balustrade . The second gallery was shortened considerably in 1972/73. The ceiling-high organ in the gallery is a work by Christian Sigismund Voigt from Uhlstädt from 1773.

In 1885 Karl Friedrich Ulrich cast the two bells of the church. After the big bell had to be delivered for war purposes, today the small bell with the inscription “My tones call to the steps of the temple” calls to the service.
