The St.-Jakobus-Kirche (pronounced [zaŋkt jaˈkoːbʊsˌkɪʁçə], "St James Church") in the historical centre of Ilmenau, Thuringia, Germany, is a Lutheran parish church. The Ilmenau parish belongs to the Arnstadt-Ilmenau district of the Protestant Church in Central Germany. Colloquially, the St.-Jakobus-Kirche is called the Stadtkirche ("Town Church") for short. It houses the largest Romantic church organ in the state of Thuringia. The St.-Jakobus-Kirche is located in the heart of Ilmenau's old part of town. To the north is the church square with the Martin Luther candelabra. To the east of the church are the parish hall, parsonage and the church garden. The church building combines two styles: the eastern part with the choir is of late Gothic origin, whereas the western part with the 65-metre-high (213 ft) church tower is late Baroque. The nave and the lower part of the tower are made of sandstone, plastered and painted yellow. The tower superstructure is slated and the roof truss of the nave is covered with naturally red tiles. Several bells hang in the tower, all of which were cast in 1923 and are made of steel. The great bell ringing is daily at 7:00 am and 7:00 pm; these used to be the miners' shift change times.
