St. Mauritius (Neuroda)
The Protestant village church of St. Mauritius is essentially a medieval hall church in the Neuroda district of the city of Arnstadt in the Ilm district in Thuringia . It belongs to the parish of Marlishausen in the parish of Arnstadt-Ilmenau of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
History and architecture
Neuroda Church was built in the late 12th or early 13th century; the walls surrounding the nave were probably increased in the 14th century. When the interior was redesigned in 1720 / 21–1723 / 24, the Romanesque apse dome was removed and the triumphal arch and apse increased. After a fire in 1738, the church was expanded in 1739–1740 by Johann Erhard Straßburger , and the tower was also built. The interior was repaired in 1829 and 1969.
The nave is covered with a gable roof, which is provided with three vertical skylights to the south and to the north as well as a crooked hip to the east. The south and north sides are provided with windows in a regular arrangement. In the east is the retracted and slightly stilted apse, in the west the tower with a square floor plan with a slanted square top, hood and lantern .
Inside, the building is spanned by a double-broken barrel vault, and a flat wooden ceiling has been drawn into the apse that serves as the sacristy . Two-story galleries are built in on three sides.
Furnishing
The pulpit altar in the triumphal arch was created around 1750. The organ is a work by Johann Georg Schröter from 1743 with 20 stops on two manuals and a pedal .
