The Georgenkirche is a parish church in Frankfurt (Oder) with expressionist architecture built from steel construction. The building stands out through its modern design elements, departing from traditional church architecture and shaping the city's visual character with its distinctive form.
The building was completed in 1928 during a period of major architectural innovation in Germany. It represents a new approach to religious architecture that reflected the modern design spirit of that era.
The church takes its name from Saint George and displays artistic works such as the sculpture 'Saint George Slaying the Dragon' by Curt Steinberg and Paul Bronisch. These art pieces shape the interior space and reflect the artistic vision the builders brought to the structure.
