	Apolda	Apolda I	Luther Church	possibly	The Luther Church is a Protestant house of worship, the architectural style of which can be assigned to the neo-Gothic . It is located in the city center on Melanchthonplatz and is the largest of the four Apolda churches. The Luther Church was designed by the Berlin architect Johannes Otzen and built from 1890 to 1894. From the outside, the reference to the brick Gothic style, which is unusual for Thuringia, is striking. The organ of the Luther Church was built in 1893 by Wilhelm Sauer and is a typical instrument of the German late Romantic period . Of the older bells in the church, the “Wintzer Legacy Bell” from 1722, cast by Johann Christoph Rose (Apolda), has been preserved. Its sound is complemented by a bronze bell cast by Carl Friedrich Ulrich (Apolda) in 1870 and a bell cast in 1950 by Franz Schilling Söhne (Apolda) with the number 6242 with a dove as an incised drawing.	51 ° 01 ′ 30.0 "  N , 011 ° 30 ′ 58.0"  E
	Apolda	Jena	St. Boniface	cath.	In 1884 a small Catholic parish had formed in Apolda. In 1886 a Catholic school was set up and services were also held there. However, the premises were soon no longer sufficient for the growing community. Therefore, the responsible diocese of Fulda acquired a plot of land on Stobraer Strasse in 1892 for the construction of a church and a school and parsonage. On March 1, 1893, the construction of the neo-Gothic, three-aisled hall church, financed by collections, began. The St. Bonifatius Church, built by the architect and archbishop building director Max Meckel from Frankfurt am Main, was consecrated on September 30, 1894. The organ with 23 sounding registers comes from Martin Schlimmbach from Würzburg. There are three bells hanging in the tower. The oldest is the Angelus bronze bell made in 1919 by the Franz Schilling Söhne company (Apolda). The other two were cast in 2005 by the Glockengießerei Bachert GmbH company (Karlsruhe) with reliefs of St. Boniface and St. Elisabeth.	51 ° 01 ′ 21.6 ″  N , 011 ° 31 ′ 18.1 ″  E
	Apolda	NAK Erfurt / Apolda	(nameless)	NAK	The church was built in 1955 for 60,000 marks (GDR). The financial resources were raised by the members of the community themselves. The organ was made by Rudolf Böhm (Gotha) in 1967. In 1993/1994 Roland Martschei and Gunther Böhm (Dresden) gave it a new organ case and 2 new registers. It was implemented in the church and is now on the opposite side.	51 ° 1 '7.9 "  N , 11 ° 30' 56.3"  E
	Auerstedt	Bad Sulza I.	St. Vitus	possibly	The tower of the St. Vitus Church dates from the 12th century. The church itself was rebuilt from 1718 to 1722. In 1967 an organ with 13 registers was bought from Döbris (Zeitz). The place had to give way to lignite mining. This organ was completely refurbished by 2007 and sounds again in its old beauty. In 2006, Regional Bishop Christoph Kähler consecrated the world earth altar with earth from all parts of the world. The gallery of the church was removed and the nave restored. The bell in the church tower bears the inscription: In Auerstedt I hang - I make my sound - I call all Christians - Melchior Moering in Erfurt, poured me in 1588 (Note: Melchior Möring belonged to the Möring family of bell-founders. He was between 1577 and 1641 mainly active in Erfurt as a piece and bell caster.)	51 ° 5 ′ 59 "  N , 11 ° 35 ′ 18.6"  E
	Bad Berka	Bad Berka	St. Mary	possibly	New baroque building in 1735 using parts of the previous Gothic building. Three bronze bells ring in the tower. The oldest was cast in 1609 by Hieronymus Moering [k] (Erfurt). In 2015 it was supplemented with two bronze bells from the Maria Laach foundry. The organ was built by Johann Friedrich Schulze (Paulinzella) in 1840 after a lightning strike in the previous instrument.	50 ° 54 ′ 1.6 ″  N , 11 ° 17 ′ 5 ″  E
	Bad Berka	Weimar (Herz-Jesu-Kirche)	Assumption Day	cath.	Erected in 1918. A bronze bell, cast in the Franz Schilling Söhne foundry (Apolda) in 1953, rings in the roof turret . The small organ was built in 1979 by the Schönefeld company (Stadtilm) .	50 ° 57 '26.8 "  N , 11 ° 11' 48.3"  E
	Bad Sulza	Bad Sulza I.	St.Mauritius	possibly	The organ comes from the workshop of Adam Eifert (Stadtilm). It was written as op.34 in 1883. In the tower of the church there are two bronze bells made by the Erfurt foundry Nicolaus Jonas Sorber from 1716. Its sound is complemented by a bronze bell from the company Franz Schilling Söhne (Apolda) from 1950.	51 ° 5 '11.4 "  N , 11 ° 37' 29.4"  E
	Ballstedt	Ramsla	Ballstedt village church	possibly	Church and churchyard were added to the monuments list of the Weimarer Land district. The church was built in late Gothic style around 1500. In 1637 it burned down completely in the war. The reconstruction did not take place until 1700–1701, as the place only slowly recovered from the consequences of the Thirty Years' War . In 1988 a renovation took place. Between 1999 and 2001 the church was completely renovated and restored. Inside, two damaged tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries have been preserved. The first organ was bought from an Erfurt monastery in 1817. In addition, changes were made to the galleries. In 1852 Karl August Witzmann (Großrudestedt) built a new instrument. In 1888 Hermann Kopp (Bürgel) built a new organ with a baroque prospect of the previous organ. From 2002 to 2006 a general renovation was carried out by Karl-Heinz and Dirk Schönefeld (Stadtilm) . Chilled cast iron bells from Schilling and Lattermann ring in the tower .	51 ° 3 ′ 7.4 "  N , 11 ° 12 ′ 37"  E
	Barchfeld	Crane field	Barchfeld Church	possibly	The church in its current form was built in 1695 and expanded in the 18th century. In 1827 a second tower floor was added. The baroque pulpit rests on a pillar. The altarpiece probably comes from a Saalfeld company around 1500 with a Maria in the center shrine. In 1693 a positive organ was bought and in 1716 an organ from Rippersroda with 6 registers, a tremulant, cymbals and a bass. There are several modifications. Today the instrument has 9 tilt registers. His bellows are still being kicked. Three chilled cast iron bells from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1921 ring in the tower .
	Bechstedtstrasse	Niederzimmer	St. Boniface	possibly	Church tower from the 14th century with Romanesque oculi and Gothic sacrament niche. Two bells from the 14th and 19th centuries. Clock bell from 1609. Extension of the church at the beginning of the 18th century. Large Witzmann organ (arranged by Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg ) from 1877. Art Nouveau painting from 1905.

	Bergern (Bad Berka)	Bad Berka	St. Margareta or to the Kripplein Christi	possibly	The church was painted by peace activist Matt Lamb. The organ belongs to Adam Eifert's workshop (Stadtilm). It was written in 1890/91 as op. 68 and was donated by Grand Duchess Sophie. In the tower there is a bronze bell cast by Hieronymus Moeringk (Erfurt) in 1612 with the inscription: "ANNO M DC XII DA GOS MICH HIERONIMVS MOERINGK ZV ERFFVRTH". It was moved from an attic to the church around 1982.	50 ° 55 '6.3 "  N , 11 ° 16'53.3"  E
	Bergsulza	Bad Sulza I.	until 1525 no patronage of St. Peter	possibly	The organ by Nicolaus - Georg Zimmermann from 1801 was lost. Three hard iron castings from Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1924 ring in the tower .	51 ° 5 '6.9 "  N , 11 ° 38' 4.4"  E
	Berlstedt	Neumark	St. Crusius	possibly	The organ goes back in its roots to the year 1669. In 1876 Hermann Kopp (Stadtbürgel) took over the repairs and repositioning. This was accepted by court organist Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg (Weimar). In 2005/06 Oliver Lang (Ollendorf) restored the organ for a temporary partial use by moving 13 registers. Three hard iron castings from the Schilling & Lattermann company (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1921 hang in the tower .	51 ° 3 ′ 41.5 "  N , 11 ° 14 ′ 48.7"  E
	Blankenhain	Blankenhain I.	St. Severi	possibly	The church has a bell tower 43 meters high. The late Gothic church, built between 1481 and 1493 on the foundations of an older church, owes its name "Sankt Severi" to the church connection between Blankenhains and Erfurt. The document about this dates from 1517 and is in the Erfurt city archive. In 1525, just eight years later, the Reformation was introduced in Blankenhain. If you walk a few steps from under the first gallery towards the altar, you can see the large crucifix above the altar next to the stained glass windows (from 1886). The crucified one hovers on chains between heaven and earth. This crucifix, a carving from the 16th century, has only been hanging above the altar since the last renovation (1981). It is no coincidence that “Werkmeister Heinrich Geßner” built the choir with the altar facing east in 1493. During the Catholic period there were up to five altars in the Blankenhain church. Remains of the original Catholic parish church can still be seen inside the church (the small wooden door of the sacrament shrine at eye level in the left wall of the chancel). The seven carved figures of a late Gothic table altar are more striking from the medieval furnishings. Also worth seeing is the sacristy built with groin vaults, which were painted with strong colors, as used in the Gothic period. In one of the two rooms, which is set up as a prayer room, a figure of Christ hangs in the window niche, without any limbs or painting. The carving from the 16th century was found a few years ago on the floor of the Rottdorf church and returned in its "raw" condition after its restoration. The pneumatic organ has two manuals with eleven or ten (swell) stops and a pedal unit with a further six sounding voices. In the nave on the northern part of the triumphal arch there is a large Rococo tomb. On this is the praying figure of Faithfulness and Innocence on the left (next to her the dove on an oak branch), on the right the eternity (a snake in his hand, an overturned urn at his feet). There are more tombstones in the church, such as B. for Count Gottfried von Hatzfeld from 1689. A rarity in the church is the small glass window to the left of the “Holy Family”. It dates from the 16th century and shows a kneeling abbot with a crook in his right hand and a church in his left. The three steel bells in the church tower were cast in 1922 by Ulrich & Weule in Apolda. The big one with 1950 kg (es), the middle one with 1100 kg (total) and the small one with 500 kg (b). At the same time and probably as the second church in Thuringia, an electric bell device was installed in Blankenhain. The old bronze bells, of which the large and medium ones fell victim to the First World War , came from 1801. The small bell could be saved and is now hanging in the nuns' church in Blankenhain, which has belonged to the Catholic community again since 1969.	50 ° 51 '39.6 "  N , 11 ° 20' 25.6"  E
	Blankenhain	Weimar Herz-Jesu-Kirche	Nunnery	cath.	Today's church was originally called "Sankt Annenkapelle". The name Nonnenkirche is not due to the nuns, but to the corruption of the name "Annenkirche". It is unknown when the nuns church was built. It is believed, however, that it was built in 1502 or 1503 on a cemetery. The St. Anne's Chapel was forgotten for a long time, as all services in “St. Severi ”. There was no money for the structural restoration after the Thirty Years War, so the church fell into disrepair. 1730 - on the occasion of the upcoming 200th anniversary of the handover of the Augsburg denomination, the Hatzfeld supervisor Markus Christian Gottschalk had the rather dilapidated church repaired so that the Catholic service could be held in it. In 1970 it was bought by the Catholic community and redesigned. The interior was redesigned in 1995 and a new coat of white paint in 2018, so that the church shines brightly again. In 1922, the bronze bell cast by the Ulrich brothers in Apolda in 1801 from the “St. Severi ”church in Blankenhain was transferred to the“ nuns church ”. During the Second World War it had to be dismantled and taken to the bell cemetery Glockenfriedhof Hamburg. Through extensive church inquiries it was found again and could be brought back. At the nuns' fair in 1951 she rang again in the church tower of the Catholic Church. In 1992, during restoration work on the tower head, old certificates, documents and coins came to light.	50 ° 51 '29.6 "  N , 11 ° 20' 47.6"  E
	Buchfart	Buchfart - Legefeld	Church of Our Lady	possibly	The village church “Our dear women” is essentially a Gothic building from the 14th century. The nave, however, dates from the 18th century. The church was completely renovated in 1870. The organ is a new pneumatic construction from 1890 by Emil Heerwagen (Weimar), who could fall back on roots from 1741 and 1829. A bronze bell by Carl Friedrich Ulrich (Apolda) from 1850 rings in the tower, accompanied by the 6130th chilled cast iron bell from Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1923 .	50 ° 55 '20.2 "  N , 11 ° 20' 0.4"  E
	Buttelstedt	Buttelstedt	St. Nicholas and Stephen	possibly	The 57 m high tower of the Nikolaikirche, which was built as a hall church from 1486 to 1566, is visible from a great distance. Your epitaph from 1563 comes from a Cranach student. In 1630 a pulpit was built in the Renaissance style with plastic evangelist figures. In 1681 the galleries were rebuilt (two-storey in the north and west - three-storey for the organ). In 1690 the interior was redesigned and again in 1815. In 1927/28 the mosaic glass windows by Paul Birr (Berlin) and Ernst Kraus (Weimar) were added. 1993–1997 the renovation of the baptismal area, the roof structure, the entrance door and the interior took place. The organ has been completely refurbished in recent years. For this purpose, a support association was formed. Its origins go back to an instrument made in 1704 by Johann Weißhaupt (Seebergen), who also designed the Bach organ in the Weimar Castle Church. In 1857/58 Carl Friedrich Peternell (Seligenthal) carried out a fundamental renovation and relocation to the third gallery. Three hard-cast iron bells from the Schilling & Lattermann company (Apolda and Morgenröthe) ring in the tower . from 1923. In the tower staircase there are unique depictions of the history of the bells on colored wooden panels. Johann Friedrich Fasch was baptized here in 1688 and Johann Ludwig Krebs in 1713 . From 1858, Franz Liszt often went to the house of God to make music and to give lessons to Pastor Steinacker's daughter . Lyonel Feininger dedicates several works to the church. A tower clock is estimated to have been made shortly after the Thirty Years War. It is to be regarded as a rarity, as this clock not only strikes the 1/4, 1/2 and full hour, but special strikes are added to the full hour, preceded by the 4/4 strikes. In the area between Halberstadt and Weimar, it is the only clock of its kind that is functional again today.	51 ° 4 ′ 34.5 "  N , 11 ° 20 ′ 45.3"  E
	Daasdorf (Buttelstedt)	Buttelstedt	Our dear women called Marienkirche	possibly	Based on the original lower part of the church tower, it is assumed that the church was built in the early Romanesque period. The east-facing tower is typical of a fortified church against the Slavs who pushed from the east in the early Middle Ages. At the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, the nave was extensively rebuilt. The bronze bell that exists today was cast by the Ulrich Apolda brothers in 1788. The second bell that is missing today was consecrated on September 3, 1857.	50 ° 59 '45.1 "  N , 11 ° 15' 43.5"  E
	Daasdorf a. mountains	Weimar VI	Village church Daasdorf a. mountains	possibly	The current village church was built in the middle of the 18th century on the same spot where the 13th century church was destroyed by fire. It is a plastered stone building made of local shell limestone, the door and window walls are made of Berka sandstone. A carved inscription shows the year 1751. The Romanesque choir tower with supporting pillars and narrow slits of light, still preserved from the old church, was incorporated into the new baroque church with a saddle-hip roof. The large pulpit is impressive. In the altarpiece there is a portrait of the Goethe painter Johann Joseph Schmeller by Martin Luther. The interior of the church is very rich in baroque decorative elements. There are bells from three centuries here. The largest bronze bell, cast in 1502 by Heinrich C (Z) ieg (e) ler (Erfurt), is complemented by a bell from the late 14th / early 15th century. It refers to: "/ CASPAR BALTASAR MELCHIORI LVCAS MARCVS INRI /". The smallest is the oldest in the Weimarer Land district. It was poured into sugar loaf shape in 1250 and has been used continuously ever since. It is said to have been pulled out by a pig a long time ago. You can see this in the old community seal.	50 ° 59 ′ 45.2 "  N , 11 ° 15 ′ 43.5"  E
	Darnstedt (Niedertrebra)	Bad Sulza I.	Darnstedt village church	possibly	In 1662 there was a record of a previous church. The current village church was built in 1769.

	Denstedt (Kromsdorf)	Weimar III	Denstedt village church	possibly	The church was first mentioned in 1254. It was badly damaged by fire in the 17th century and in 1812. The restoration took place in 1815. The pulpit altar by Friedrich Weber from Wickerstedt comes from this year in a strictly classicist structure. In 1838, when Tsar Nicholas I was visiting his sister Maria Pavlovna, he donated the altar cross. From 1989 to 1992 the church was completely restored. It can refer to a wooden barrel, surrounding double gallery, two boxes and two portraits of Martin Luther. The organ was built on January 15, 1860 by the brothers Carl / Wilhelm and August Peternell (Seligenthal) and donated by Freiherr Wassily and Carl von Wegener-Linker. Court organist Johann Gottlob Töpfer undertook their disposition and acceptance. It became known as the so-called "Liszt organ" because Franz Liszt regularly used it for organ conferences with his legendary cantor Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg . It was restored in 2011 by organ builder Christoph Rühle (Moritzburg). It has a wind throttle. In the bell tower is a bronze bell cast by Carl Friedrich Ulrich in Apolda in 1847. Lyonel Feininger held the church a. a. 1917 in oil and 1919 with a woodcut.	51 ° 0 ′ 3.1 ″  N , 11 ° 22 ′ 56.9 ″  E (?, Probably Castle D.)

	Eberstedt	Bad Sulza II	St. Margaret	possibly	The nave was built from 1743 to 1745 (according to the inscription on the south side). The tower is considered to be older (a construction phase from 1588 has been handed down). The organ was built by Johann Georg Molau (Großbrembach) in 1743/45. It was bought in 1766.

The interior from 1780 [u. a. a pulpit in the rococo style] is no longer preserved. In the 1950s / 1960s the church deteriorated increasingly. This was followed by the complete demolition of the nave in the 1970s. The church now consists only of the old choir tower, which has been newly covered with a pointed roof. The remains of the old foundation walls of the nave are still visible on the outside. The baroque interior and the organ were completely removed.

	Lehnstedt	Mellingen - Umpferstedt	Magdalenenkirche	possibly	The oldest parts of the choir tower church can be dated to the 12th century. It is divided into three parts. Double windows with a central column can be seen on the upper floor of the Romanesque tower. Narrow pointed arch windows shape the flush choir extension and the central building. The wide nave has large baroque arched windows. The double hood rises above the central building. Warm light falls into the choir through mainly red window glass. A stone altar replaced the earlier pulpit tree. The baptismal font and lectern are modern. The flat ceiling in the choir has been given strong colors. The church received its furnishings mainly in the years 1798 to 1802. Peter Richter (pastor) can be seen in an oil painting from 1613. The Bach family, Johann Sebastian's relatives, also held the spiritual office in Lehnstedt for several generations. The church was extensively renovated from 1980 to 1982. One of the oldest bells in the Weimarer Land district hangs in the tower. The bronze bell, unmarked around 1465, is accompanied by a bell cast by the Ulrich brothers (Apolda) in 1901.	50 ° 56 ′ 21.3 "  N , 11 ° 26 ′ 25.4"  E
	Lengefeld (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	Lengefeld village church	possibly	A parish was first mentioned in 1314. The church was built in the 13th or 14th century as an early Gothic choir tower church. New building in 1764, which essentially only left a double lancet window on the east side of the ground floor and an ogival sacraments niche on the north side of the choir. The retracted choir tower with buttress-like pillars on the north and south sides was given an octagonal dome and lantern in 1764. The year of construction is indicated on the weather vane of the tower and on the keystone of the triumphal arch inside the church. It was withdrawn in 1833, since then the church was initially a branch of Blankenhain, and since 1871 of Hochdorf.	50 ° 49 '43.3 "  N , 11 ° 20' 43.5"  E
	Leutenthal	Buttelstedt	St. Vitus	possibly	The village church with a painted wooden barrel vault dates from the 15th century and was rebuilt in the first quarter of the 18th century. In 1993 the church was re-covered.	51 ° 3 '17.8 "  N , 11 ° 22' 18.1"  E
	Liebstedt	Niederroßla	St. Laurence	possibly	The foundation stone for today's church was laid in 1742, as the old church was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War. The new nave was only poorly completed in 1768. The tower was still missing. After 200 years the church was completed (1938) and the tower was fitted with three bells from the bell foundry CF Ulrich (caster Franz Schilling ) from Apolda in 1939 . The two big bells were melted down during World War II (1941). It survived a bell from 1887. The religious priests first lived in the Commandery (Ordensburg). The inscription in the archway of today's rectory gives the year 1590. The parish was destroyed several times by numerous large fires in Liebstedt. Today's rectory was built after the last fire in 1820.	51 ° 2 ′ 47.4 "  N , 11 ° 24 ′ 38.7"  E
	Lotschen (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	Lotschen village church	possibly	Here you can find one of the oldest bells in the Weimarer Land district.

	Magdala	Magdala	St. Johannis	possibly	A little away from the market on a hill on the outskirts is the Protestant town church of St. Johannis, a Gothic hall church with a baroque tower dome typical of Thuringia.	50 ° 54 '26 "  N , 11 ° 26' 37.2"  E
	Maina	Magdala	Maina village church	possibly	The church is a branch of the Magdala Church. It is a modest rectangular building with a wooden barrel and rectangular windows. Profiles from the 16th century can still be seen in the arched door. The square roof turret has a tail dome and helmet. The organ was built in 1884 by Adam Eifert (Stadtilm) as his op. 43. The organ was approved by court organist Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg (Weimar). A bronze bell from the Ulrich brothers (Apolda) from 1902 rings in the tower, which was delivered to Ilsenburg during World War II (11-23-151 B), but was allowed to return.
	Mattstedt	Niederroßla	Marienkirche	possibly	Bell tower restored in 2006 - three bells since 1636. In 2006 the ringing was supplemented by the bronze bell of the foundry Rudolf Perner GmbH & Co KG (Passau), the so-called "Marienglocke", historical altar, organ (around 1800), frescoes, rectory from 1666	51 ° 3 '15.8 "  N , 11 ° 30' 12.1"  E
	Mechelroda	Buchfart - Legefeld	Mechelroda village church	possibly	The remains of a baptismal font refer to the 15th century. In 1707 the older church was rebuilt. The pulpit altar in the west dates from the 18th century. The church was painted in 1888. It has a circumferential double gallery and a complete barrel ceiling. In 1963 another painting took place: the roof structure was renewed in 1997. On the outer wall is a commemorative plaque for Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg , Liszt's legendary cantor, who was born in Mechelroda on February 14, 1827 and baptized in the church. The organ was built in 1834 by the Witzmann brothers (Kleinrudestedt). A bronze bell, cast by Carl Friedrich Ulrich (Apolda) in 1852, rings in the tower.	50 ° 54 '42.7 "  N , 11 ° 22' 40"  E
	Meckfeld (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	St. Martin	possibly	In the tower is a richly decorated bronze bell cast by Johann Georg Ulrich (Apolda) in 1760 with a relief of the crucified.	50 ° 51 '6.2 "  N , 11 ° 26" 12.9 "  E
	Meckfeld (Bad Berka)	Klettbach	St. Martin	possibly	One of the few bronze bells by Benjamin Sorge (Erfurt) hangs in the tower. It was cast in 1845 with a frieze of angels' heads set in three-sided branch boundaries and stylized ball rosettes.	50 ° 54 '58.3 "  N , 11 ° 11' 22.1"  E
	Mellingen	Mellingen	St. George	possibly	In 1667/69 a hall church with a west tower was built after damage from the Thirty Years' War. This was baroque in 1724/30 and painted inside in 1750/52. The pulpit altar dates from 1750. The church has a wooden barrel and a two-storey gallery. The lead glazing of the windows was made by Birr (Berlin). A comprehensive restoration took place in 1960/66 and a roof renovation in 2006. The painter Lyonel Feininger was extremely impressed by the church. It can be found in his sheep u. a .: April 26, 1911 nature note; 1912 etching; 1913 two nature notes; 1915 oil; 1917 coal; 1919 woodcut; 1920 Two oil paintings; 1955 watercolor and ink; 1955 coal. The organ was built in 1807 by Johann Benjamin Witzmann (Stadtilm) and is considered to be one of the first organs in this workshop (he also donated the font for the organ consecration). In 1997/99 Karl-Heinz Schönefeld (Stadtilm) carried out a general repair and the installation of a new gaming table. Two bronze bells from the company Franz Schilling Söhne (Apolda) from 1921 and a bronze bell from the company Glocken- und Kunstgießerei Metz (Karlsruhe) from 1990, which replaces the bronze bell from 1721 by Johann Christian Rose (Oßmannstedt), ring in the tower standing with crack in the nave.	50 ° 56 '33.3 "  N , 11 ° 23' 42.4"  E
	Mönchenholzhausen	Vieselbach	St. Peter and Paul	possibly	The organ probably goes back to Peter Herold from Apolda and dates from the year 1700. In 1844 Karl Witzmann built a new instrument with the material of the previous organ , the three reports from 1972, 1977 and 1992 each record a different registration.	50 ° 58 '8.8 "  N , 11 ° 9" 12.8 "  E
	Münchengosserstädt (Bad Sulza)	Dorndorf-Steudnitz	Dorfkirche Münchengosserstädt	possibly	The village church is mentioned as early as 1219. In the tower hangs a bronze bell cast in 1787 by the Ulrich brothers (Apolda) with a frieze of hanging acanthus palmettes.	51 ° 1 '50.3 "  N , 11 ° 35' 57.6"  E
	Nauendorf	Crane field	Nauendorf village church	possibly	The organ is difficult to identify. The prospectus dates from the 18th century. In the 19th century a Karl Ludolff from Klettbach is noted as an organ builder. Walcker & Cie installed new pipes in 1932. The large porcelain manubriums are remarkable.	50 ° 53 '34.7 "  N , 11 ° 10' 42.6"  E
	Neckeroda (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	Neckeroda village church	possibly	The village church has a weather vane from 1606 on its tower and could be reminiscent of a late Gothic tower. But the church has a Romanesque core. The exact year the church was built is not known, but an expert dates the typical pointed helmet design to around 1250. On the east side of the church is a Romanesque apse with a stone half-dome, probably the oldest part of the church. It was rebuilt several times and probably increased by 1600. The baroque pulpit was painted at the end of the 19th century and restored in 1998/99. The organ on the second gallery was installed in 1870 by master organ builder Förtsch from Blankenhain. The three tower bells were cast in 1925 and fortunately survived the world war. The large bell has a diameter of 122 cm and a height of 90 cm, the middle one 95 × 70 cm, the small one 80 × 58 cm.	50 ° 48 '42.8 "  N , 11 ° 20' 6.7"  E
	Nermsdorf	Buttelstedt	Village church Nermsdorf	possibly	In front of the church is the bronze bell, which was cast by Eckhard [t] Kucher (Erfurt) in 1590 and which fell during the great church fire in 1988. The bell, cast in 1928 by the Ulrich / Heinrich Ulrich GmbH (Apolda) brothers and given to the church from the Magdeburg diocese after the church fire, rings in the tower.	51 ° 4 ′ 45.1 "  N , 11 ° 14 ′ 48.6"  E
	Neumark	Neumark	St. John	possibly	The bronze bell, cast by Hermann König [k] (Erfurt) in 1601, was supplemented in 2010 with two bronze bells from Glockengießerei Bachert GmbH (Karlsruhe) with the text: "PEACE * שלום * МИР * لم 0 س * PEACE * PAX *" "And" FREEDOM * חופש * CВОБОДА * الحرية * FREEDOM * LIBERTAS "wear.	51 ° 4 ′ 45.1 "  N , 11 ° 14 ′ 48.6"  E
	Tear down	Buttstädt	Village church	possibly	The church with its choir, nave and tower is Romanesque, probably from the 12th century. Major changes were made later. So the triumphal arch was hewn upwards and the pillars were also heavily changed. The walls are Romanesque in their base, then medieval in the next layer and later from the 18th century. The mighty, slightly curved tower roof with its resemblance to a cathedral dome, the not high tabernacle and tail helmet deviates in a pleasing way from the roof design of a similar church and gives the church a special appearance. The baptismal font is kept in the Renaissance style. The year 1610 is noted on it. The pulpit dates from the middle of the 18th century and has an interesting baroque design. The organ was built in 1865–1870 by the Peternell brothers (Seligenthal) [noted on the wind chest]. In 1999/00 repairs and maintenance work were carried out by the company Rösel & Hercher (Saalfeld). A chilled cast iron bell from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1922 rings in the tower .	51 ° 5 ′ 55.7 ″  N , 11 ° 24 ′ 36.4 ″  E (?)
	Niederroßla	Niederroßla	church	possibly	It was first mentioned in 996. In 1650 a church began to be built. In 1656 the church fell victim to a fire. In 1670 the new building was built with a graceful baroque hood. The church tower got a helmet structure and a rococo bulb. In 1721 the church was consecrated. The three-axis nave construction has a polygonal closed choir, two circumferential galleries, paintings on the gallery parapets and the nave ceiling, a mansion's box adorned with coat of arms, a four-tier pulpit altar [with figures of angels, vines and life-size figures of Moses with the tablets and Christ with the cross]. An extensive renovation took place in 1899. In 1971/72 the church was restored. In 2000/02 a general renovation had to be carried out due to sponge infestation. Here is the gravestone of Martin Luther's niece, who was married in Niederroßla. The organ was built in 1735 by Heinrich Nicolaus Trebs (Weimar). In 1853, Louis Witzmann (organ approval by Johann Gottlob Töpfer) carried out a renovation. The ringing consists of two chilled cast iron bells from Ulrich & Weule (Apolda & Bockenem) from 1920 and one from Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1957. The fourth bell is a bronze bell by Nicolaus Jonas Sorber (Erfurt) from 1715 in the tower.	51 ° 2 ′ 16.1 "  N , 11 ° 29 ′ 11.6"  E
	Niedersynderstedt (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	Niedersynderstedt village church	possibly	A church was first mentioned in 1140 and the parish in 1333. A large pulpit with rustic painting and gilding in the otherwise rather simple church is striking. It probably dates from 1718. The oldest year 1550 is attached to this church above a choir window. During excavations, a large grave field from the Saxon fratricidal war was found east of the church. The foundations of a very old church or chapel were also found. A gilded chalice from the 14th century bears the inscription “Maria hlf, iesus hlf” and is decorated with consecration crosses. Since the Reformation, Obersynderstedt, Tromlitz, Loßnitz and Söllnitz have also belonged to the parish.	50 ° 53 '15.3 "  N , 11 ° 26' 21.3"  E
	Niedertrebra	Bad Sulza II	Reformation Church	possibly	The church was rebuilt around 1750 on the remains of a previous building according to plans by the architect Timler. The gallery is two-storey. The tower is stately and gives the church a special touch. The pulpit was designed in the style of the Roman-German baroque. The medieval carved altar is particularly beautiful. The church has been repainted in recent years and is now bright and friendly. On the gallery stands Matthias Vogler's (Naumburg) organ from 1789, the largest known instrument. Three chilled cast iron bells made by Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1919 and 1962 ring in the tower .	51 ° 4 ′ 14.6 "  N , 11 ° 34 ′ 59.7"  E
	Niederzimmer	Niederzimmer	St. Wigberti	possibly	Until 1852 Niederzimmer had two churches, the Bonifatiuskirche in Oberdorf and the Wigbertikirche in Unterdorf. The former was demolished in 1854. Schools and a parish each belonged to the two churches. The older parts of the Wigbertikirche date from the beginning of the 15th century. The representations of the Old and New Testaments on the galleries and especially the emblemata are worth seeing.	51 ° 0 '18 "  N , 11 ° 11' 4.6"  E
	Nirmsdorf	Buttstädt	church	possibly	The bronze bell, cast in 1773 by Johann Georg and Johann Gottfried Ulrich (Apolda), rings in the tower, which with its inscription and the Witzleben coat of arms refers to the founder: “/ HERRN DIETRICH GOTTLIEB VON WITZLEBEN ERB ADMINISTRAT. DES CLOSTER ROSLEBEN./ "	51 ° 5 ′ 39 "  N , 11 ° 28 ′ 6.9"  E
	Nohra	Niederzimmer	St. Peter	possibly	The first documented mention of Nohra concerns the baptism rights of the brothers of the former All Saints Church in Erfurt in the Church of Nohra and dates from 1217. The Romanesque choir tower church was rebuilt in the Baroque era and got a pulpit altar in the 19th century. In 1777, a baroque organ was installed by Kummer (Dachwig), which was expanded to mark the anniversary of the Reformation in 1817 with Friedrich Sorge as sponsor. In 1892 lightning struck the church tower, damaging the tower, altar, pulpit and nave. Building inspector Wittichen was commissioned with the new construction of the tower, who created a tower that was visible far in the landscape between Weimar and Erfurt. The rectory created by the Weimar architect Coudray, the church with its historic church and cemetery and the old school building as well as the one created in 1900 form a closed ensemble. Nohra is a special Luther site, since on April 5, 1521, Martin Luther, on his way to the Reichstag in Worms, led by an imperial herald, entered Nohra territory outside of the Saxon Electorate for the first time. He was received by 40 men on horseback, led by the rector of the university and a large number of Erfurt residents, and escorted to Erfurt. The Luther rose in the local coat of arms of Nohra still reminds of this today. In the tower there is a bronze bell from the year 1892 by the Ulrich / Gießer brothers: Heinrich Ulrich (Apolda), which refers to its creation in its flank text: "/ DURCH LIGHTNING DESTROYED ON JULY 31 / NEW MOLDED IN SEPTEMBER 1892./". It is flanked by two iron castings from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda-Morgenröthe) from 1958. In the nave there is probably the oldest naive depiction of the cause of death on a tombstone in Thuringia: The stone, created in 1783, depicts the process in which the eleven-year-old Andreas Kühn was killed as a ringer by the bell.	50 ° 57 '45  .2 " N , 11 ° 14' 0.2"  E
	Obergrunstedt (Nohra near Weimar)	Buchfart-Legefeld	Village church	possibly	Two historically valuable bronze bells hang in the tower: the one cast by Hieronymus Moering [k] (Erfurt) in 1616 and the one cast by Heinrich C (Z) ieg (e) ler (Erfurt) in 1519. The latter shows typical medallion depictions with the adoration of the three kings and the holy clan [Bergner] or the Assumption of Mary [Lehfeld].	50 ° 57 '12.9 "  N , 11 ° 15' 58.4"  E
	Oberndorf (Apolda)	Apolda II	St. Anna	possibly	The organ was built around 1878 by the Witzmann brothers (Stadtilm) and was renovated in 2005 by Rösel & Hercher (Saalfeld). Three bells ring in the tower - the bronze bell made by Franz Schilling Söhne (Apolda) in 1965 , the one cast in 1517 by Heinrich C (Z) ieg (e) ler (Erfurt) and the one cast in 1924 by the Ulrich / Heinrich Ulrich GmbH (Apolda) brothers Bell with the inscription: "/ THE WORLD WAR TAKEN THE SISTER TO THE DEFENSE / NOW I CALL TO GOD'S GLORY! /".	50 ° 59 ′ 58.6 "  N , 11 ° 26 ′ 40.2"  E
	Obernissa (Mönchenholzhausen)	Klettbach	Simon Peter	possibly	The age of the village church has not been passed down. After being damaged by a lightning strike, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1721; the lower part of the tower is older. The pulpit altar dates from 1724, the altar Bible from 1797. The bell was donated in 1802 by a local resident.	50 ° 57 '8.4 "  N , 11 ° 8' 53.6"  E
	Tearing over	Buttstädt	Village church	possibly	The Romanesque building got in the 15./16. A tower was built in 1617 and structural changes were made. In the middle of the 17th century the nave was extended. In 1719 the church was ascended. Renovation work was carried out in 1879. Inside there is a double gallery and a pulpit altar with 2 large paintings. In 1996 a corrective tower was built. In 1997 there were new windows. In 1927, Lyonel Feininger painted a painting on the south side of the church, which the artist incorrectly titled "tear down". The organ was probably built by the Peternell company (Seligenthal). Today only their prospectus remains. In the tower there are three chilled cast iron bells made by Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1919, which have been allowed to ring again since 2011 after renovation.	51 ° 5 '7.9 "  N , 11 ° 24' 49.5"  E
	Oberroßla (Apolda)	Apolda I	Village church	possibly	Martin Luther is said to have preached here. The reading pulpit is still there today. The special Luther picture is said to have shed real tears when it was robbed. A Luther coin was poured. There is no organ. Three chilled cast iron bells from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda-Morgenröthe) from 1918 ring in the tower . The church no longer has an organ.	50 ° 59 ′ 58.6 "  N , 11 ° 26 ′ 40.2"  E
	Obersynderstedt (Blankenhain)	Blankenhain II	Village church	possibly	During excavations inside the church, two small Franconian grave crosses so-called “crow's feet” were found, as well as a very old incised drawing when plastering the north side, which represents a pagan fertility symbol from pre-Franconian times. The Christians later carved a cross and thus "Christianized" it. The church belonged to the parish of Niedersynderstedt. In the church you can find an old inscription in a window on the south side with the year 1605. The bells are from the year 1454. The church building got its present shape from 1709 to 1712 through a baroque reconstruction and ultimately through a comprehensive restoration in the years 1981 to 1982.	50 ° 51 '54.4 "  N , 11 ° 25' 7.4"  E
	Obertrebra	Bad Sulza II	St. Boniface	possibly	The first mention of the castle dates from 1269 on a document from the Pforta monastery. From 1679 to 1688 a five-axis hall church and a transverse rectangular tower were built. In 1746 the wooden barrel vault in the choir and the double gallery were redesigned with ornamental paintings. In 1819 the interior was renovated [white walls and gilding of the pulpit]. Another general renovation of the nave and the large wooden figures is currently taking place. The organ was built in 1747 by Gottfried Thilo from Schloßvippach. The organ has limited playability. The chime is very important. There are three historic bronze bells in the tower. No. 1: 1520 - Erfurt bell founder Heinrich Ziegler No. 2: 1521 - Erfurt bell founder Heinrich Ziegler and No. 3: 1702 - bell founder J. Chr. Beehive.	51 ° 3 '44.9 "  N , 11 ° 33' 56"  E

	Oßmannstedt	Niederroßla	St. Peter	possibly	The place is mentioned for the first time in 956. In 1263 a pastor was named for the first time. The church is first mentioned in 1297/99. Around 1540 it was designed as a late Gothic building. It has epitaphs from 1570 as well as large late Gothic pointed arch windows and two figural grave slabs for Wilhelm von Harras († 1575) and Valentin von Harras († around 1600). A comprehensive restoration took place in 1610. On the font is noted: ANNO 1611 PASTORE CL (Casper Loner) EMANUEL GETZE. The baroque pulpit was built in the 17th century. In 1811 the ceiling was changed. There is a crucifix from the 17th century. The last alterations and renovations were carried out in 1988/89. The organ is significant and was built by Johann Benjamin Witzmann (Stadtilm) in 1810 and completely refurbished by Orgelbau Waltershausen by 2010. In the tower, a bronze bell cast by Rudolf Perner (Passau) in 1999 is flanked by two hard iron castings made by Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda-Morgenröthe) from 1919. A third chilled cast iron bell is in the church garden.	51 ° 1 ′ 7.7 "  N , 11 ° 25 ′ 51.1"  E
	Ottmannshausen (Berlstedt)	Ramsla	Ottmannshausen village church	possibly	There are two bronze bells in the tower. The larger one was cast in 1629 by Hieronymus and Melchior Moering [k] (Erfurt). The smaller one comes from the foundry Franz Schilling Söhne (Apolda) with the foundry number 5952.

	Ottstedt am Berge	Niederzimmer	St. Nicolai	possibly	The church complex is late Gothic with quarry stones and was expanded in 1750. It has a vaulted ceiling with remains of painting. The pulpit also dates from the second half of the 18th century and was designed as an open space in the middle of the choir. Four naturalistic palm trees support the entablature and surround the altar table. A truncated pyramid rises on it. The organ on the 2nd gallery was built in 1830 by Saalfelder (Stadtilm). The community bought it from the estate of the governor Dalberg. In recent years it has been overhauled and made playable. Three chilled cast iron bells from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1918 ring in the tower .	51 ° 0 ′ 59.5 "  N , 11 ° 12 ′ 53.6"  E
	Ottstedt	Magdala	St. Nicholas	possibly	A church building is documented in the 14th century. In 1529 it was named as a parish and soon after it was incorporated into Magdala. This was probably rebuilt in 1642 after being devastated. Today's choir tower church is a rectangular, massive church hall with a mansard roof and a retracted choir tower. This conversion took place in 1783–1785. The small polygonal apse and the tower structure in half-timbering are an addition from 1888. The last renovation was carried out in 1966–1970. Inside there is a flat ceiling in the choir, otherwise the church can refer to a wooden barrel as well as a two-storey gallery and a pulpit altar from 1888. From the 16th century three (partly badly damaged) carved figures (Moses; John and baptismal angel) have been preserved. In 2011 Sören Seyfarth created a new Moses and Johannes. The organ was built in 1911/12 by August Müller (Berka / Ilm). He was a partner in Adam Eifert , who made the cost offer in 1907. The organ was extensively repaired in 2016. Two chilled cast iron bells from the company Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe) from 1921 ring in the tower .
	Pfiffelbach	Niederroßla	Village church	possibly	In the tower is the richly decorated bronze bell cast by the Ulrich brothers (Apolda) in 1791 with the text on the side: “/ AUG. GOTTL.

	Stedten on the Ilm	Crane field	St. Eckard	possibly	The small village church is one of the oldest in the area. A surviving sacrament niche behind the altar shows that the church existed before the Reformation. The art guides state that it was built in the 15th century, but an even earlier first building in the settlement that has presumably existed since the 12th century cannot be ruled out. The name St. Eckard also comes from Catholic times. With the introduction of the Reformation in Kranichfeld, Stedten became Protestant in 1529.

The church has the ground plan of a Romanesque choir tower church that was later extended to the east. There are suspicions that the part of the tower with the extremely strong walls was once the keep of the outer bailey. Most of the windows date from the 17th and 18th centuries. A restored small crucifix from the 18th century adorns the altar. The church also has a gilded chalice from 1574 and a small coat of arms from the 16th century. In 1969 part of the tower collapsed, so that the baroque dome was removed and replaced in 1975 by a simple gable roof.	50 ° 52 '34.8 "  N , 11 ° 26" 19.1 "  E
