"Until 1813, the present church square was a graveyard burial ground
for the Hattinger citizens. After that, the
Cemetery for hygienic reasons in front of the city wall
laid. Some grave slabs of the old churchyard around the St.
George's Church are preserved to this day.
The closed ring of half-timbered houses around the
Kirchplatz stands on originally ecclesiastical property. As
Land tax was not money, pets or grain
but beeswax, which is used for the production of
Candles used to illuminate the church. That's why
the houses at the church square also "wax interest houses".
The slightly raised space is over 5 narrow,
partly overbuilt accesses accessible. These accesses
are also called "roasters" because they use iron rusting
were provided to free-roaming pets, in particular
Keep pigs out of churchyard and cemetery.
Today's access is only due to the demolition of a
House has been created. "

The church square with St. George's Church and its narrow entrances has been preserved in the medieval ground plan and probably one of the most beautiful in North Rhine-Westphalia.
