St. Wigbertus Church Niederzimmern

The Protestant village church of St. Wigberti is located in the western part of Niederzimmern, a district of Grammetal in Weimarer Land.

St. Wigberti Church is one of two churches in Niederzimmern. The second church (St. Bonifacius) was demolished in 1854. Johannes Cotta, related through his wife to Christiane Vulpius, Goethe's wife, was the vicar of St. Wigberti until the two churches were merged in 1852.

The church was built between 1372 and 1450. It was rebuilt in 1617/18. In the early 18th century, the church's current appearance was shaped by a radical redesign of the Gothic building.

Inside, the pulpit altar, designed in 1719 in the peasant baroque style, and the picture gallery on the galleries are particularly worth seeing. It shows scenes from the Old and New Testaments.

The church organ was built in 1901 by Adam Eifert as his op. 105 in the case of the baroque predecessor organ. It has been completely renovated and was reconsecrated in 2001.

The present chimes, consisting of three cast iron bells made by Schilling & Lattermann (Apolda and Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz), were cast in 1919.

The cemetery around the church with its surrounding wall has a remarkable wealth of sculpturally designed gravestones from the first half of the 18th century and later.
