description
From the church from the 1st half of the 12th century only the square choir tower and the apse are preserved. The nave with three axes was rebuilt in 1710 to the west. It is covered with a hipped roof. The long walls have arched windows . On the east side, the tower has biforias , one on top of the other , whose central columns have cube capitals . On the stone floors of the tower sits an eight-sided, slate-roofed tower with the tower clock , which is covered by a pointed helmet . Of the once four church bells , only two are left in the tower. The two missing bells were drawn in for war purposes during World War II . An hour bell is attached to the outside of the spire. The tower's ground floor has a groin vault . The semicircular apse has light openings in the shape of a quatrefoil . During extensive renovations in the 1970s and 1980s, the pulpit altar and the old pews were removed. The tower room and the apse, which had previously been walled up and served as the sacristy , have now been incorporated into the church again. Between the nave and the choir is a round-arched triumphal arch on spiers , between the choir and apse there is a choir arch . The interior has circumferential double galleries and is covered with a flat ceiling that was renewed in 1806 and 1987. The church furnishings include a baptismal font from the 13th century and a winged altar from the 2nd half of the 15th century with a shrine in the middle and two painted side wings. The central group in the middle shrine is the crucifixion group : the crucified Jesus Christ , flanked to the right by John and to the left by Mary . To the left of Maria are Dorothea and Laurentius , to the right of Johannes are Katharina and Cyriacus . The panel paintings on the side wings show the birth and adoration on the feast day side, ie in the open state, and the Annunciation on the everyday side, ie in the closed state . The church received a new organ from Stadtilm organ builder Salfelder in 1820 after the old one from 1805 had become unusable. The organ building company Schönefeld extensively restored the organ, which became unplayable in the 1980s, in 1994/95 and 1997. It now has 1073 organ pipes distributed over 18 registers , which are played on two manuals and the pedal .
