Dorfkirche Gelmeroda, Choir tower church in Gelmeroda, Weimar, Germany.
The Dorfkirche Gelmeroda stands on elevated ground north of the A4 highway junction, featuring medieval architectural elements and a prominent tower structure.
The church's oldest section dates to the early 13th century, with the nave construction following in the 14th and 15th centuries, including preserved medieval frescoes.
German-American painter Lyonel Feininger created numerous artworks featuring the church's tower, leading to its nickname 'Feiningerkirche' among local residents.
Located south of Gelmeroda village, the church welcomes 10,000 visitors annually and contains a six-register organ built by Klaus Kopetzki in 1972.
In 1994, it became the first church in the new federal states to receive Autobahnkirche status after extensive restoration following German reunification.
