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

St. Georgen is a Baroque church outside the former town walls in Glaucha, south-west of Halle's centre. Its floor plan follows a Greek cross; the plain tower rises on a square base at the east side and continues octagonally from the height of the nave roof ridge, ending in a curved copper-clad helm with a cross. The dark grey stone walls are pierced by small windows, and the tower base carries two clock faces.

First documented in 1121, the church belonged to the Cistercian convent of St. Marien from 1231 to 1557; Thomas Müntzer served as chaplain in 1522 and August Hermann Francke was pastor from 1692 to 1715, founding the orphanage that became the Franckesche Stiftungen. A coal pan left after morning service burned the building to its foundations on 6 December 1740. The present Greek-cross structure was built from 1740 to 1744; damaged in April 1945, it was prepared for demolition in 1985 and renovated from 1990.

The name recalls Saint George; the church lies in Glaucha, a former suburb outside the old town walls. Since 1990 the building has been used by the free-church Evangeliumsgemeinde, not the Protestant parish. Of the original interior only the altar survives; the galleries were removed after 1985. The tower holds two bells: a 1755 bell by Friedrich August Becker and the 1963 Francke-Gedächtnisglocke from Apolda.

The church is located at Glauchaer Strasse 9 and is accessible by public transport via the Glauchaer Platz tram station. Parking is available at Steg and Moritzzwinger.

From October to December 1813, the building served as a military hospital for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Leipzig. This use shows the important role the place played during the Napoleonic Wars.
