history
The year 1462 was carved into an arch in the church, as the pastor likes. Georgius reports who was pastor in the parish from 1595 to 1650.
The church tower is documented around 1600 in the church records . One hundred years later it was renovated because of its disrepair. In 1709, Master Trebs built the organ that Johann Sebastian Bach accepted . Johann Wolfgang Goethe's master builder Coudray drew the floor plan and elevation for a new church in 1820. His plan served as a template for a new Romanesque building in 1848.
The church is considered an early example of monument conservation work.
architecture
The church is a large hall church with a western tower and an eastern apse with four large round portals. In the middle of the three sides and the apse there are large arched windows and a circular arched frieze. The old tower was incorporated into the western nave. On the upper floor, Romanesque arched windows have been supplemented by brick masonry. Inside is a brick pulpit wall. During a renovation in 1967, the pulpit was given a gray-red matt socket and modern lamps in the altar candlestick.
Extensive renovation measures were carried out again in 2011/12.
