List of churches in the Ilm district

This list contains the church buildings in the Ilm district in Thuringia .

introduction

After Christianization and the founding of places in the Ilm district began in the 8th century, the first chapels were built. The oldest churches that have survived to this day date from the turn of the millennium and can be found in the north-west of the district in the vicinity of Arnstadt.

When the density of the area increased again in the 12th century, many more churches were built, of which the stone churches in the northern part of the Ilm district have mostly been preserved (with later modifications). Typical building materials are regional stone types such as shell limestone , travertine or red sandstone . There are also some medieval fortified churches here. In the southern areas of the Thuringian Forest , on the other hand, wood / half-timbering was often used as building material, which is why the church buildings here were not so durable and the ones that exist today mostly date from the 18th century. In the Ilm district almost all places have a village church, only in Oberpörlitz , Friedersdorf , Wildenspring , Hammersfeld and Oesteröda there are no church buildings. Characteristic of almost all the churches in the circle are the ver slate th tower hoods in baroque forms, which are widespread in the adjacent areas of Thuringia.

Since the introduction of the Reformation in the early 16th century, all places in the Ilm district have been Protestant. Since the late 19th century, some Catholics immigrated to the cities, so that there are a few Catholic churches. Other Christian religious communities do not have traditional church buildings in the district, but mostly smaller houses of prayer. The Protestant churches belong to the Evangelical Church in Central Germany and there to the superintendent of Arnstadt-Ilmenau, in peripheral areas also to other adjacent superintendent. The Catholic churches belong to the church district Weimar in the diocese of Erfurt .

In most places there is only one church, only in the two large cities Arnstadt and Ilmenau as well as in Plaue there are several church buildings. The two villages Stützerbach and Neustadt am Rennsteig , in which there are or were two churches each, are special. This results from the former division of the villages into two states, which existed in Neustadt until 1920 and in Stützerbach until 1945. Here each half of the village had its own church. However, there are also formerly divided villages with only one church such as Manebach or Gräfinau-Angstedt .
