Historical
The Georgenburse was first mentioned in a document in 1456, its architectural history goes back to the 14th century. It served as a residence for students and teachers at the University of Erfurt and was subject to a master's degree . The Burse had a permanently employed cook, and the other administrative tasks were taken over by students. Because of the declining number of students, the Georgenburse was sold by the city of Erfurt in the 16th century. The original complex consisted of several buildings; the front buildings on Augustinerstrasse were destroyed in a bomb attack in February 1945. The only remaining building was restored in 1983. After extensive renovation, the educational and meeting center "Georgenburse Erfurt - Study Place of Luther's Time" opened on October 31, 2010, next to it there is a pilgrims' hostel on the top floor. The house still houses the center of the Evangelical St. George Brotherhood .
