history

The 12th century church was probably given in 1240, according to other sources in 1290, by the Apolda taverns to the canons of the Holy Sepulcher in Droyzut . Here they also built a religious house. The Ordenshof in Utenbach apparently became so important for the Droyßiger branch that the canons named themselves in 1303 "Brothers of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher at Droyzk (Droyßt) and Otenbach (Utenbach)". Between 1494 and 1496, the Holy Sepulcher Prostei was incorporated in the Order of St. John. In 1561 the Order of St. John still held the church patronage of the St. Hilary Church.

A late Romanesque hall church with a retracted, rectangular choir tower is attested as a deanery church as early as 1500 . The church was restored after a fire in 1639. At the turn it was ruinous and hardly accessible. Due to the great commitment of the citizens, the church was initially repaired without the late Gothic choir . In 1993, after three years of construction, it was re- opened . The choir with leaded windows was the last to be completed in 1999. The village was honored with a bronze medal by Federal President Roman Herzog in the International Congress Center Berlin on January 25, 1996 .
