St. Michael, Heritage church in Weißenborn-Lüderode, Germany.

St. Michael is the Catholic parish church of Weißenborn, a village in the Sonnenstein municipality in Thuringia's Eichsfeld district. Its octagonal nave has round-arched windows and a pyramidal roof, and the tower with its own pyramidal roof stands at the east wall. The interior holds a ceiling painting of 1950 copied from Albrecht Dürer's Madonna and Child.

A predecessor church was consecrated in 1131 by Bishop Buggo of Worms; a new building followed at the end of the 16th century. In 1836 the parish began another new church, consecrated on 27 June 1863 by Bishop Konrad Martin. A fire destroyed it in 1939, and after rebuilding it was reconsecrated on 26 November 1950 by Auxiliary Bishop Adolf Bolte.

The parish belongs to the parish of St. Michael Weißenborn-Lüderode in the Deanery of Leinefelde-Worbis, Diocese of Erfurt, and the church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The parish was a branch of St. John the Baptist in Jützenbach during the 19th century, and a chaplaincy was established in Weißenborn in 1859. The church was consecrated on 27 June 1863 by Bishop Konrad Martin.

The church stands in Weißenborn, part of the Sonnenstein municipality in the Eichsfeld district; the octagonal nave with its pyramid roof and the tower on the east wall are visible from the village street. The interior was renovated between 2003 and 2005, so the 1950 ceiling painting and the 1955 evangelist windows in the altar area can be viewed in their restored setting. As an active parish church of the Erfurt diocese, it is open in connection with services.

The ceiling painting of 1950 is a copy of a detail from Albrecht Dürer's Maria mit dem Kind; the source calls the original a 14th-century work. The four Evangelist windows in the altar area were designed in 1955 by Irma Lang-Scheer. The terracotta Stations of the Cross relief was made by Georg Kemper around 1920–1925.
