Stadtilm Market Square with Albert Methfessel Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

The Stadtilm market square is considered the largest market in Thuringia with an area of around 10,170 m². Before it was paved in 1834, the market square consisted of a single swamp area. Since its inception, numerous events such as wool markets, demonstrations and various festivals such as the Stadtilm market festival have taken place here. Even today, you can admire the Methfessel monument, which was inaugurated in 1885 and in the center of which an obelisk is dedicated to the composer Albert Methfessel, who was born in Stadtilm.
On the site of the building, which now houses the branch of the Arnstadt-Ilmenau savings bank, the Hotel zum Hirsch stood until 1966, where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe often stayed on his trips to Ilmenau. Goethe wrote the poem "Found" in Stadtilm.

St. Mary's Town Church Stadtilm

Highlight • Religious Site

Only separated from the market square by a row of houses, the town church "St. Mary's" rises with its western tower, which is rare in Thuringia. The two towers with stone pyramids, pinnacles and finials as well as the beautifully coupled windows and buttresses face the setting sun. In the medieval imagination, this side was considered the realm of darkness with creatures that shunned the light and was therefore particularly in need of protection. Construction began in the first half of the 12th century. The church building was built using exposed stone. The influence of various eras is clearly visible. Starting in the Romanesque period, the building gradually transitions into the Gothic architectural style. The three lower floors of the towers are decorated with round-arch friezes.

Ilm Valley Viaduct (Stadtilm Viaduct)

Highlight • Bridge

The Ilm Viaduct (or Stadtilm Viaduct or Ilm Valley Viaduct) is a single-track railway bridge on the Arnstadt–Saalfeld railway line between kilometers 15.064 and 15.264. It spans the Ilm and the federal highway 87 in Stadtilm, Thuringia. Viaducts, very often built with bricks, are gigantic masterpieces of architecture. The Göltzsch Valley Bridge in the Vogtland district of Saxony is the largest brick bridge in the world and also a masterpiece. This one is of course a little smaller, but no less interesting.
