_002.jpg)
The core of the St. Elisabeth church in the former village of Beesen, which is now part of Halle (Saale), dates from the 12th century. The walls of the church hall, like a small arched window on the north side, are essentially from the Romanesque period. In the 15th century the hall was expanded to the east. In 1724/25 the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. It has a polygonal choir.
The west tower was built in 1743/44. It was performed on a rectangular floor plan and merges into an octagonal bell storey at the level of the roof. The tower is closed by a " Welsche Dome ".
The hall, the walls of which were built from rubble stones, has a barrel vault and two-story galleries . The pulpit altar by the Halle sculptor Wiener from 1791 to 1792 fills the entire height of the hall. Older components were integrated into the altar, such as the pulpit by Johann Christian Trothe from 1725 and parts of a winged altar from the pre-Reformation period by the so-called Beesener Meister from 1522. In the parish hall there is a picture of the famous Moscow painter Viktor Poluschin from his youth, which shows the Elizabeth Church in Shows state of the year 1965.
The parish united with those of Ammendorf and Radewell to form the parish of Halle-Süd in the parish of Halle-Saalkreis of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
