In 1968, the nave received a new roof covering. Gutters and lightning protection were also renewed, and a new cross was attached to the roof. In 1971, the renovation of the nave began, during which a new altar was built and equipped with a new cross. This was followed in the spring of 1972 by the reinstallation of the organ and the external re-plastering of the nave. The festive rededication of the technically outdated organ took place in August 1992. In September 1998, the church tower was renovated, and the tower crowning was completed on January 23, 1999. Since autumn 2000, visitors have been able to climb up to the church tower's viewing platform and enjoy the panoramic view Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirche_Thallwitz

The church was built in the 15th century; the foundation walls and the base of the church tower from this period have been preserved. Bishop Johann VI. von Saalhausen commissioned the expansion of the choir and the raising of the church tower. Its spire above the octagonal upper section was created in the 17th century. The inscription on the weather vane indicates the reconstruction of the nave in 1626, which likely incorporated older masonry. The ceiling was given a flat barrel vault. In 1896, extensive renovations were carried out according to plans by the architect Oswald Haenel from Dresden. The church and church tower were completely replastered on the outside, the church and tower roofs were re-covered, repaired, and secured with lightning conductors. Inside, the second gallery was removed in 1896, and in its place, the remaining gallery received double rows of seats. The organ loft was widened. The windows were fitted with colored cathedral glass, and new paraments made of green, red, and black cloth with gold embroidery were acquired. After the restoration, the rededication was celebrated after the Totenfest, the old church consecration festival of Thallwitz, with the participation of the patronage, the church inspection, and numerous pastors from the region.

Very lovingly and well-stocked bookstore. There are opening hours here, as the bookstore is closed overnight. There is also a bike station in front of the bookstore to pump up your tires.

Very well stocked and maintained "library". Care is taken here to ensure that no trash is dumped. Next time I will bring the books I have read.
