St. Ulrich (Neukirchen)

The St. Ulrich Church is the village church in the Neukirchen district of the city of Eisenach in Thuringia . It is dedicated to St. Ulrich .

history

The first residents of Neukirchen belonged as subjects of the Archbishop of Mainz to the original parish of the Mihlaer Martinskirche . There was already a chapel when the village was founded in 1299. Matthias Schreiber began his service in Neukirchen in 1522 as the first Lutheran pastor.

In 1589 a first nave was built in place of the Romanesque chapel, which had already been repaired several times. From 1608 to 1617 the building was completely renovated. The nave in its present form dates from 1727, when the 16th century building was removed and replaced. The Romanesque defense tower of the chapel from the 12th century has been preserved as a church tower despite several modifications to the church building. It was repaired in 1878 and was given a simple slate roof in 1934/35 and a small baroque lantern as a coronation.

In 1842 Heinrich Schwerdt (1810–1888), who was born in Neukirchen, took over the office of pastor from his late father and held it until he was transferred to the Tonna community in 1860.

The Sankt Ulrich Church was restored in 2006. In 2010 the inside of the tower was plastered and painted.

Furnishing

The interior of the church is equipped with three-sided, two-story galleries under a barrel-vaulted wooden ceiling, a baroque pulpit and a baptismal font . The interior decoration is kept simple, only a few pictorial representations can be found.
