In 1965-70 a repair took place, the interior was provided with an analogue version. In 2002 and 2003, the KiBa Foundation provided funds to re- roof the roof with slate . The church on the Ilmtal cycle path has been designated as a cycle path church.

Building description

The hall church has a recessed, almost square choir tower . The nave is covered with a hipped roof with dormer windows . Segmented arched windows are arranged regularly on the unadorned, now stone-faced building . The portal in the south has a curved lintel , the keystone of which remained as a large humpback block. The tower has a longitudinal, steep, hipped roof with a roof turret . The interior of the nave is dominated by two-storey baroque galleries like those built into several churches in the Ilm valley in the 18th century . The pillars of the galleries run through to the ceiling and support an entablature on which a wooden mirror vault sits. The board-lined stands are faded in towards the central room as slim pilasters in a classic superposition . The heads of the supports are reinforced by curved lugs . Various types of frame are located in the coffered parapets . The consistent architectural structure of the galleries up to the ceiling creates a facade-like elevation that closes off the central area. There are stucco frames on the ceiling of the ship. In the choir there is a three-axis, columnar pulpit altar with wide carvings and carved figures. On the Altar are Jesus Christ and John the Baptist represented the altar extract of the Risen Christ and putting. The groin vault dates from the middle of the 18th century. The shield walls are set off by a surrounding cornice above the pulpit altar. They have a multi-part flat stucco ornamentation . Above the choir arch , which is decorated with ribbon work , are two cartouches , one probably with the monogram of Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach . The stucco on the choir vault and arch can therefore only have been created after Carl Augusts took office in 1758. The church tower is equipped with three gray cast iron bells, a small bronze bell hangs in the roof turret. The organ with 15 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built by Johann Georg Molau in 1745 when the church was being built and rebuilt by Gerhard Kirchner in 1935 .
