Saint Cyriacus, to whom this church in Gellershausen is dedicated, was a deacon and martyr from the time of early Christianity. According to Catholic tradition, he is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Saint Cyriacus's feast day in the liturgical calendar is August 8th. On a prayer card—originally from another church dedicated to him—the following intercession to the saint is inscribed: “Saint Cyriacus, open our eyes to the physical and spiritual needs of our fellow human beings. Grant us the willingness to listen to even the humblest among us with their great worries and to stand by them in their distress. Help us so that our hearts do not become hardened by selfishness and hopelessness.”

Our Heldburg Forestry District comprises 12 forest districts and is also the southernmost forestry district in the Free State of Thuringia. The Heldburg region, the Gleichberge hills, and the castles of Straufhain and Heldburg are attractive destinations for forest visitors. Our district office in Heldburg is also worth seeing – a building steeped in forestry history. Our forestry district is characterized by extensive oak forests in the south – which is why the oak is the "characteristic tree species" of our district. North of the Werra River, for example around Hildburghausen, coniferous pine and spruce forests predominate, while the "Franconian Threshold" south of the Werra is characterized by beech-rich deciduous forests.

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. John in Bad Rodach was first documented as a parish church in 1350. The current nave dates from the mid-18th century.

Beautiful church, nice that it is easily accessible for everyone 👍

Also former inner-German border.

Looks very similar to the Spenglersbrunben in Coburg 🤔 .

The church's origins likely date back to the Middle Ages, although its current appearance is largely influenced by later renovations and new construction. Particularly notable is the imposing church tower, which is visible from afar and serves as a landmark. Over the centuries, St. John's Church has undergone various changes, reflecting the respective architectural styles of the eras. Inside, the church houses a rich collection of furnishings, including remarkable altars, pulpits, and works of art that testify to the church's long and rich history.
