St. Georg, Neoclassical church in Bensheim, Germany.
St. Georg Church displays a symmetrical design with a preserved western tower and classical architectural elements throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
The original church from 1830, designed by architect Georg Moller, sustained severe damage from incendiary bombs in 1945 before reconstruction began in 1949.
The church functions as the oldest among four Catholic parish churches in Bensheim, maintaining regular religious services and community gatherings.
The building contains a Johannes Klais organ from 1963, featuring 41 registers across three manuals and pedals, which underwent restoration work in 2011.
Historical records indicate a connection to Lorsch Monastery, as a church in Bensheim was gifted to the monastery in 818, likely referring to St. Georg.
