The Margarethenkirche in the city center is a late Gothic hall church (first mentioned in 1064) and is considered Gotha's main church. In 1522, the pastor of Sankt Margareten proclaimed the Gospel, thereby driving the Reformation forward in Gotha.
The baroque interior of the church was created between 1725 and 1727. With the consecration of the Schuke organ (1961), a lively concert activity began again in the Margarethenkirche, which continues to this day. This is because the German Music Festival already took place here in 1812, with Carl Maria von Weber and the Gotha court conductor Louis Spohr also participating.
