The area of the parish includes the hamlets Joditz, Lamitz, Saalenstein, Scharten, Stöckaten and Siebenhitz.

The pulpit, altar, organ case and baptismal font (the last no longer extant) were by the Hof sculptor Johann Knoll.

The character of the village schoolteacher Maria Wutz of Auenthal (in Jean Paul's eponymous idyll) is thought to be based on an inhabitant of Joditz.

The Jean Paul Museum in Joditz keeps the memory of the writer and his childhood spent in Upper Franconia.

In an idyllic rural setting, which includes the old rectory garden, the visitor can examine manuscripts, early prints, first editions, engravings, drawings and other documents.
