Christi Himmelfahrt, Catholic parish church in Arnstadt, Germany
Christi Himmelfahrt is a parish church in Arnstadt with a stone facade and Gothic-influenced design from the 18th century. The interior accommodates worshippers and features a 1987 organ with 18 registers and pedal work.
The building was constructed in 1743 as a Protestant cemetery chapel. It passed to Catholic ownership in 1974 after a lengthy negotiation process.
The church serves as an active Catholic community space and houses historical gravestones that recall the cemetery's former presence. These stones carry the names and memories of people who belonged to this place over centuries.
The church is centrally located in Arnstadt and easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that access may be limited during active services.
The cemetery surrounding the church was transformed into a public park in 1924. Selected historical gravestones were preserved inside the building rather than removed entirely.
