The Nischwitz and Großpillingsdorf parish currently has 145 members. Originally, the Nischwitz parish included two other parishes, Jonaswalde and Heukewalde, and in the 1990s the parishes of Haselbach and Rückersdorf were added. On November 15, 2006, the Nischwitz parish was dissolved. The parish of Nischwitz with Großpillingsdorf, Jonaswalde and Heukewalde were handed over to the parish in Thonhausen, the parishes of Rückersdorf and Haselbach were handed over to the parish of Linda.

In 1880, the high, widely visible Nischwitz village church was built in the arched style after the old church developed cracks and became dilapidated. 100 years later the roofs of the tower and the ship were replaced. In 1991, window and door repairs and plumbing work were carried out. In 1998 and 1999 the interior of the church was lovingly restored. The original painting, which was based on the designs of Pastor Dr. Heinrich Bergner from 1908 was created and restored with impressive skill by the restorer Herbert Kretschmer from Gauern and Rudolf Köhler. However, the extensive restoration would not have been possible without the generous donations of the people of Nischwitz and Großpillingsdorf.

Just a few years later, an urgent general renovation of the Nischwitz Poppe organ became necessary. In addition to donations from parishioners, state funding as well as lottery money and financial resources from annual benefit concerts could also be used.

Even today, the Nischwitz Church experiences many highlights during the church year such as baptisms, confirmations, weddings, Thanksgiving services and family services. The performances of the gospel choir from Gößnitz, the accordion orchestra from Zwickau and the hunting horn players from Gera ensured a lively Christian life and musical events in the village church.

Turmhütte Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rest on several floors - from the upper floor you have a wide view into the country, if the weather cooperates.

Thonhausen–Mannichswalde Connecting Road

Highlight • Cycleway

Quiet little connecting road between the towns of Thonhausen and Mannichswalde. As is the case today in the winter months, there is absolutely no traffic.
Asphalt is OK.
