The bright white altar, reconstructed in 2000, was originally created in 1733 - 1739 by Johann Christian Feige the Elder and Benjamin Thomae. Above the altar is the church organ, decorated with equally sumptuous Baroque ornamentation.The baroque altar is a masterpiece built by the sculptor Johann Christian Feige. It depicts a biblical scene: Christ is praying alone in the Garden of Gethsemane while his disciples are asleep and soldiers are already approaching from the town gate to arrest him. Starting from this moving scene, a whole sermon in stone then unfolds across the altar centred around the message of the mercifulness of God. The altar is highly impressive not only because of its rich decoration with ornaments and figures, but also thanks to its artistic and spiritual depth. As almost two thousand fragments of the altar were rescued during clearance of the rubble, reconstruction was a viable possibility. Around 80% of the present altar is thus made of original material.
