"The youngest of the three main churches is the St. Georgen Church, once a place of worship for craftsmen and tradespeople. Not much has been passed on about its predecessor building, which was already on this square.

St. George's Church was badly damaged in an air raid in April 1945. Left to decay for decades, the north gable collapsed on a stormy night in 1990. After that, extensive renovation work began, which was completed in May 2010.

A visitor platform has been located on the 36 meter high tower of the church since 2014: up to 30 guests can enjoy a wonderful view of the city and the surrounding area at any time of the year. - In good weather, the view extends as far as the island of Poel.
The "ascent" is uncomplicated: a glass elevator brings everyone safely through the church tower to their destination and back down to the "bottom of the facts". "

Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom this former church in Wismar is dedicated, but his veneration dates back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century.
On the other hand, the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon is well known and widespread. He is usually depicted – in paintings or as a statue – as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback.
The memorial day of the very popular George - he is, among other things, the patron saint of the English kingdom - in the calendar of saints is on April 23rd.

"The Church of St. Georgen is one of the most important architectural monuments of North German brick Gothic. As a former parish church of the new town, it is located in the southwestern area of the old town. It was built in the late Middle Ages and the Reformation. Before the completion of St. Georgen in It was modified several times during its long construction period in 1594. The colossal nave and transept also represent the last large-scale construction of a municipal parish church in northern Germany begun in the Middle Ages could become.
Until January 1990 the ruins stood unsecured in the city. After a severe hurricane that caused the north gable to collapse, the reconstruction of the brick church began with the help of the German Foundation for Monument Protection." Source: wismar.de
