geography

Weitersdorf is located about two kilometers south of Großkochberg .

history

The hamlet-like place is located on an old road connection between Rudolstadt and Großkochberg. Whether this settlement was indirectly mentioned in a document with Heinrich Wybirstal on February 10, 1351 cannot be proven.

The former village church is a Romanesque building. Comparative building research dates the church to the 11th / 12th. Century. At the end of the 19th century the place was developed as a chamber property.

According to local tradition, the church was dedicated to St. Boniface . The stone known as the "baptismal font" or holy water basin with Romanesque ornamentation was retained as a furnishing element. The Gothic wayside shrine to the northeast of the church and the small cemetery with historic tombs from the 18th century are also worth seeing. The bell, which was only donated in 1805, was presumably a tribute to Prince Ludwig Friedrich II on the death of his friend Friedrich Schiller ( The Bell , written in Rudolstadt).

After a long break, the church has been used for worship again since 1996. Traditionally, the festive divine service became the patronage on the Sunday after June 5th (feast day of St. Boniface). In 2008, Auxiliary Bishop Reinhard Hauke from Erfurt held a Catholic service with the congregation in this church for the first time since the Reformation was introduced.

As far as history can be traced, the place was never inhabited by more than 15 people.
