"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.
