Tips

The first mention of the church was in 1196. The Gothic church received its basic appearance in 1515. In it Martin Luther preached at the time of the Reformation, and Johann Sebastian Bach was baptized in it. The tower was added to the church in the Neo-Baroque style in the years 1899-1902.

The beautiful Georgenkirche is unmistakable due to its eye-catching placement - in the middle of the market square. Many well-known personalities, such as Luther, Telemann and Pachelbel, were closely associated with the main Protestant church. Today you can marvel at the original baptismal font from 1503, where Johann Sebastian Bach from Eisenach was baptized in 1685.

The Georgenkirche is the city and main church of Eisenach, centrally located in the southern area of the market. Here Martin Luther preached during the Reformation, making it one of the oldest Protestant churches. Johann Sebastian Bach was baptized in her. It served temporarily as a court church and was until the merger of Protestant church provinces of Saxony and Thuringia to become the Protestant Church in central Germany on 1 January 2009, the Episcopal Church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Thuringia (Wikipedia).
