Summary

[edit]
Description

The Evangelische - Lutherische Kirche in Meiningen. The Church is in an early Romanesque style, and was probably built around 1008 AD. The tower was added after 1153. See <a href="http://www.kim-net.de/lilac_cms/de/1062,d138a59c4489ce2761584b186d0625dd,/Evangelisch-Lutherische-Gemeinde/StadtkircheOrgel/Meininger-Stadtkirche-mit-Reger-Orgel.html" rel="nofollow">here for more details in German</a> and also <a href="http://www.meiningen.de/content/lang1/int_888.1239.1_0_912.44.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> The two towers rise to 50m above the market place.

The northern (left hand) tower is the older, from 1594, with attached circular staircase tower, whilst the southern tower was replaced in the major restoration of 1884-1889. Anglo-American bombing destroyed all the windows in the church, and the organ, but restoration commenced in 1962 with the choir loft and in 2002, restoration of the windows started.
