St. Georgii (Hildesheim)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North-eastern quarter of Hildesheim's old town ( Merian 1653): on the right St. Georgii (4), above the Ostertor (21); left St. Jakobi (3), below St. Andreas (2), in the middle the town hall (13)

St. Georgii was a small church in the old town of Hildesheim , of which no structural remains have been preserved. It was built around 1220 as a branch chapel of St. Andreas on the east side of Osterstraße opposite the confluence with Markstraße. Around 1300 the St. Georgii peasantry , one of the six old town peasantry , was named after her. In 1368 the church was given a choir and in 1500 a tower.

With the introduction of the Reformation in Hildesheim, St. Georgii became a Lutheran parish church . Representatives of the bourgeoisie and the nobility were buried in the church; north of her was a cemetery.

At the end of the 18th century, Hermann Heimart Cludius was the owner of the pastor's office. In 1809 the parish was abolished and incorporated into the St. Jakobi parish . The building was bought and demolished in 1813 by the demolition contractor Temme.

In 1934 a west-east running stretch of road near the former church was given the name Bei St. Georgen (previously 1. Rosenhagen ); When the city was rebuilt after 1945, the name was transferred to a newly created north-south street.

The Roemer-und-Pelizaeus Museum has two epitaphs from St. George.
