On May 29, 1613, severe thunderstorms with heavy rainfall occurred. Rivers burst their banks and large areas in Thuringia were flooded.

The small mill café is a great place to take a short break. There's also access from the Ilm Cycle Path.

The Süßenborn village well is a unique structure and monument. No comparable object has been found in Thuringia to date. The well consists of a vaulted basin chamber made of natural stone. The north-south barrel vault is 5.60 m long. From the west, a second, smaller barrel adjoins the main barrel, which, according to tradition, served as access to the chamber. Water was drawn from there. The exterior walls of the building are mostly made of limestone masonry. The hand pump was installed to facilitate water extraction.

The Church of the 14 Saints is of Romanesque origin and dates back to 1180. The 2.90 m long and 3.90 m wide sacristy room supports the narrow east tower. The organ of the Süßenborn church was built by Adalbert Foertsch in 1866. After extensive restoration, it has once again resounded with impressive sound since May 2011. Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Source: https://www.kirchenkreis-weimar.de/kirchenkreis/gemeinden-und-kirchen/weimar/weimar-i-lukas-cranach/zu-der-vierzehn-heiligen-suessenborn/

The small church in Kromsdorf contains a carved altar from the 15th century. Feininger was fascinated by Germany's wealth of churches and, by 1937, had created around 150 church sketches, which he "finished" in his homeland in America after the Nazis banned them as degenerate art.

Small village church, located in the southern part of the town. I wonder if there were once two different places?
