Christopher Church Weimar-Tiefurt
open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
around 1200, the church was built in Romanesque proportions, facing east according to the sunrise of the knightly saint St. George, for the residents of the manor house and settlement of the marshals of Dietfurt, responsible as administrators and pastors under the counts of Weimar-Orlamünde in the castle and town.
around 1500, Tiefurt became the widow's estate of the Weimar dukes. Choir with medieval altar mensa, which shows traces of a retable altar, of which carved figures are still mentioned around 1900. Tower offset on axis with tower chapel and tracery windows.
after 1700, interior fittings as a copy of the Weimar castle church "Himmelsburg" with confessional ambulatory and pyramid altar (J. E. Rentzsch, father and son). Canopy supported by palm trees: image of the New Jerusalem and symbol of the ducal-bourgeois palm tree society for the cultivation of the German language. Pulpit with Moses-Christ-John the Baptist and Holy Spirit dove, above Easter and Ascension, crowned by a sun symbol with the Hebrew tetragram: "I AM THERE". On the galleries, a gallery of apostles after J. Callot. Duke's chair with coat of arms from 1716 indicates authentic performance venue of J. S. Bach.

Circa 1740 new tower roof for secondary use, originally intended for Berka. Striking clock, two bells. Small organ (J.G.Schröter/Erfurt?) on the second gallery.

1776 Second-generation residence church of Prince Constantin, later summer residence of his mother Anna Amalia and his nephew Carl Friedrich.
In the 19th century, the park was designed with dominant sightlines to the church. Gothic church windows were enlarged and the already weakened roof was covered with slate.
