About Bach Church

Bach Church is the common name of a Protestant church in Arnstadt in Thuringia, Germany. It was authoritatively named Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Kirche in 1935 due to its relationship with the writer Johann Sebastian Bach. It was in this congregation that Bach played a piano concerto in the wake of working for the duke of weilmar for 7 months. A congregation on the premises named after St. Boniface torched in 1581. Another congregation was worked from 1676 to 1683 and basically named Neue Kirche New Church. It is a Baroque corridor church with three levels on all sides.

The organ manufacturer Johann Friedrich Wender from Muhlhausen worked from 1699 to 1703 on the third level of the congregation an organ with two manuals and 21 stops. It was reviewed in June 1703 by Johann Sebastian Bach, at that point 18 years of age, who was procured subsequently for the post of the organist at the congregation, his first position as an organist. He was prevailing in 1707 by his cousin Johann Ernst Bach who held the post to 1728. The organ was changed and reestablished a few times. An imitation of the organ was introduced in the congregation of Pontaumur, Auvergne, which is utilized likewise for a local Bach celebration.
