In the history of art, the church was mainly by the Bauhaus artist Lyonel Feininger. During his work in Weimar in the years 1919-1926 he painted her again and again. The visitor will also find inside an exhibition of the work of the great painter.
The foundations of the church Gelmerodaer go back to the time between the years 900 and 1000. (Weimar-read)

A ("favorite") motive of the painter Feininger.
For more than three decades Feininger went on foot or by bike to the Weimar countryside. There he filled out sketchbooks with innumerable churches, bridges and village centers, from which later many of his world-famous works of art were created. (Weimar-land-tourism)

The church was drawn by Feininger and gained some fame as a result. Can be visited during the day.
