The St. Georg Hospital Church is located on Auer Strasse and Hospitalstrasse. The first church was first mentioned in a document in 1283. The hospital was nearby. The church had to survive some damage from the many city fires, the last fire in 1848. It was not until 1861 that the church could be used again. kirche-loessnitz.de

The Hospitalkirche Sankt Georg is a church building in the town of Lößnitz at the intersection of Hospitalstrasse and Auer Strasse. It was built as a hospital chapel for the St. Georg hospital foundation in Lößnitz in the 13th century. After multiple city fires and subsequent reconstruction, the church was reactivated as a religious foundation in 1999.

"We dream of journeys through space – isn't the universe within us?" wrote Novalis in 1798, and Friedrich von Hardenberg, a student at the Freiberg Mining Academy, in his pan-deistic philosophical work of magical idealism, Blüthenstaub (Petal Dust). Viewers of Rebecca Horn's vertical, multi-part sculpture, The Universe in a Pearl, in the neo-Gothic Hospital Church in Lößnitz, also take a mysterious path into an inner world. Looking into the two-part mirror sculpture lying on the church floor, its upper mirror slowly rotating, a third mirror, located at a height of three meters, opens up a reflective space that extends into infinity. A circular shape of blue light can also be seen in the field of vision, which combines intricately with the viewer's reflection.

The work of artist Rebecca Horn, born in 1944 in Michelstadt, southern Hesse, and deceased in 2024, is reminiscent of a fanned-out technical representation of a machine with three superimposed funnels. In the gap between above and below, the dimensions of Euclidean space dissolve, and the view opens into a paradoxical, seemingly endless echelon of beauty, initiating a dissolution of boundaries.

Created in 2006 by sculptor, installation and performance artist, and filmmaker Rebecca Horn, the sculpture has been repeatedly installed in churches, including in London, Mallorca, Hamburg, and Berlin. Before finding its final home at the Museum Wiesbaden, The Universe in a Pearl will make one last stop in a church: the Hospital Church of St. George, transformed into an art and pilgrimage church, located at a crossroads of the Silberberg and Saxon Ways of St. James on Frankenstrasse.
