Weimar - Herder Church

The central feature of the old town of Weimar (now protected as a national monument) is the Stadtkirche (Town Church) or Herder Church, a Late Gothic hall-church (1498-1500) dedicated to SS. Peter and Paul in which Johann Gottfried Herder, the great 18th C. writer and philosopher, officiated as court preacher for many years. In the west choir, under the organ gallery, is Herder's tomb.
