The support is remarkable from the outside ago to the style of the brick gothic uncommon for Thuringia. Rare stroke of luck is to be regarded as that the church could retain also their historistische interior organization invariably, so that it can be called today extremely worth seeing. In addition the sculptures of Hermann Kokolsky and William Haverkamp, painting of Otto mountain as well as the colored Glasfenster from the workshop of Maximilian Auerbach belong.
