St. Georgen, Baroque church in Glaucha district, Halle, Germany.

St. Georgen features a simple tower with a square base on its east side, crowned by a rounded dome characteristic of German architecture.

The church, first documented in 1121, burned to its foundations in 1740 and was reconstructed between 1740 and 1744 following a Greek cross layout.

The interior space accommodates 3,000 people, making it the largest church in Halle, with original features including the preserved historical altar.

Located at Glaucher Strasse 9, the church is accessible via public transport from the Glauchaer Platz tram station with parking available at Steg or Moritzzwinger.

From October to December 1813, the building served as a military hospital for wounded soldiers from the Battle of Leipzig.
