Alte Kirche Watzenborn-Steinberg, Romanesque church in Watzenborn-Steinberg, Germany
The Alte Kirche Watzenborn-Steinberg is a church combining Romanesque style with a Gothic nave, featuring rounded arches, thick stone walls, and a slate-covered roof. A bell tower with a ridge turret crowns the building and emphasizes its medieval character.
An original chapel stood here in the 13th century, but the building received its current Gothic nave in 1489. These architectural changes reflect centuries of religious and structural development.
The interior displays Protestant features like galleries and pews installed after the denomination shift in 1561. These elements shape the church's appearance today and reflect how faith was practiced here.
The church is located at Zur Aue 34 in Pohlheim and serves today for weddings, funerals, services, and concerts. Municipal management ensures the building remains accessible and properly maintained for various activities.
The bell in the tower, built in 1490, served as a school bell starting in 1921 and connected centuries with everyday purpose. This use shows how closely the building was woven into community life.
