from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Nikolaus zu Windeberg

St. Nikolaus in the Windeberg district of the city of Mühlhausen in Thuringia is a Protestant village church . The church building dates from 1802; but the tower is older. It goes back to the 16th century.

An old bell from the church in Weida / Wieda, which was demolished in 1568, was hung in the Windeberg church tower, but fell victim to the fire in 1750, like the entire bell of the church, which destroyed a large part of the village. After this accident, two new bells with diameters of 1.01 and 0.81 m were cast for the church by Nicolaus Jonas Sorber in Erfurt in 1751 .

The memorial in the churchyard commemorates the victims of both world wars .

The parish of Windeberg belongs to the Mühlhausen parish of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
