Limbach Municipal Church, Protestant church in Limbach-Oberfrohna, Germany
Limbach Municipal Church is a Protestant church at An der Stadtkirche 5 in Limbach-Oberfrohna. Its walls are partly rubble stone and partly timber-framed, and a 29-metre spire crowns the tower. The 1894 renovation added a round-arched portal with a rosette of Hilbersdorf porphyry tuff.
The original building was a wooden church first documented in 1412. Between 1510 and 1899, it underwent multiple renovations until reaching its current form.
The interior features a classical altar donated by merchant Johann Samuel Esche in 1811, displayed alongside a renewed pulpit. This ensemble reflects the local merchant community's connection to the church and shapes its appearance today.
The building is open on weekdays and during religious services, functioning as an active center for the Protestant community. Visitors should check current visiting times and be respectful during any religious ceremonies taking place.
On 25 January 2009 a speeding car left the ground for about thirty metres and struck the church roof at a height of seven metres; the driver was seriously injured. The sources record the crash and the injury but say nothing about repairs or restoration afterwards.
