I hope we don't build such borders again.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Mary Margaret is located in the Rentwertshausen district of the Grabfeld municipality in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district of Thuringia. It belongs to the Bibra parish in the Meiningen church district of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. There is no date of construction for this strikingly small village church, with its half-timbered upper story in the church tower. Nothing is known about a previous building. However, the year 1604 in the pulpit inscription is linked to the construction period. The organ was purchased around 1800, and the baptismal font, dating from 1844, is neo-Gothic. In 1983, the church received modern wooden decorations, including an altar cross, antependium, ambo, and pulpit, by the Greiz artist Elly-Viola Nahmmacher.

A beautiful historic market square, well-preserved and restored half-timbered houses, a few cafes and ice cream parlors invite you to sit outside in the summer.

Classy and very old

The focal point of Bad Königshofen is the large market square with its three ornamental fountains: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Röhrenbrunnen (Tube Fountain), and the Michaelsbrunnen (Michael Fountain), above which the wrought-iron angel "floats." The Vierröhrenbrunnen (Four-Tube Fountain) in front of the Schlundhaus (Thrush House) was fed by a water pipe even before the Thirty Years' War, making it an important part of the town. Also located on the market square is the medieval Kornstein (cornstone) from 1525, which formerly served as a grain measuring device.

Beautiful to look at, unfortunately we weren't allowed in and there was no information about when it would be possible.

The special items of equipment include the bronze grave monuments of the Henneberg counts, which came from the workshop of the Nuremberg bronze caster Peter Vischer the Elder and his sons. The monuments were created between 1488 and 1510 and have been in the baptismal chapel since 1735. They are a statue of Otto IV of Henneberg and the tomb for Hermann VIII of Henneberg and his wife Elisabeth of Brandenburg, a work from the early Renaissance period that bears a total of 16 coats of arms.

Gatehouses of the same type can be found, for example, in Großeibstadt near Bad Königshofen, in Milz or in Gabolshausen in front of Bad Königshofen. Sometimes they were part of the city wall or city fortifications. Gatehouses at castle and city gates stood next to gates, or the gate was integrated into the gatehouse. Here the gate is in the foreground and the building is attached. These gatehouses regularly served as accommodation for the guards. They also served to collect tax money in the form of tolls or paving fees. Therefore, they were also located at the city gates.
