Sankt Nikolaus
Sankt Nikolaus stands in Schmira, a district of Erfurt in Thuringia, as a protected Evangelical Lutheran church. Its plastered hall, three-sided choir and tall tracery windows give the building a clear nineteenth-century form.
The church was first mentioned around 1315, while the present structure dates from 1842 and incorporates parts of a predecessor destroyed in 1813. A neo-Romanesque stone tower joined the western side in 1868, rising from a square base to biforia, triangular gables and an octagonal slate spire.
Inside, three-sided galleries frame a classicist interior with a two-tiered pulpit altar and pilasters. The organ retains 26 registers across two manuals and a pedal, built by the Ratzmann brothers in 1875 and expanded by Herbert Löbling in 1982.
