Protestant Church, Protestant church in Weißenfels, Germany
The Protestant Church at Kleinkorbetha is a brick building constructed in the round-arch style typical of 19th-century rural churches. The structure features curved arches and a simple exterior design common to congregational buildings in the region.
Kleinkorbetha received its own church in 1855 as a new building that dominated the village, while the neighbouring Großkorbetha church had grown gradually through alterations. The round-arch design follows other 19th-century village churches in the Prussian district of Merseburg, such as St. Marien in Rothenburg and St. Ursula in Niemberg. The building is listed as a monument in Saxony-Anhalt under number 094 12174.
The church is no longer used for worship and is not listed as a church building by its parish, the Pfarrbereich Weißenfels-Nord (Großkorbetha) in the Merseburg church district. Its name refers to the village of Kleinkorbetha, now part of Großkorbetha in Weißenfels. West of the tower stand two war memorials, and to the southwest a Luther monument.
The building is no longer used as a church and is not listed in the parish's church register, so it is not open for services. It stands in Kleinkorbetha, part of Großkorbetha in the town of Weißenfels. The structure is described as dilapidated, and repeated attempts to sell it have been made. West of the tower stand two war memorials, and to the southwest the Luther monument.
The church has been listed as a monument under registration number 094 12174 in Saxony-Anhalt's heritage register. Repeated attempts to sell the building failed, and other reuse plans could not be carried out because of structural decay. Its organ, built by Johann Gottlob Trampeli between 1796 and 1800, is the main surviving piece of furnishing.
