Hall, Market Church

View of the market church. The late Gothic market church of Our Lady, also known as the Church of Mary, can be seen from the northeast. This church once emerged from the previous churches of St. Gertruden and St. Mary, when in 1529 it was decided to demolish both churches to the towers and connect the towers to each other by means of a nave. Here you can see a tower pair with the connection through a bridge above. Behind it, the nave rises from the outside and flows into the other two towers, which are structurally different from the front towers. Together with the Red Tower, which is located outside the leaf on the left, the buildings form the landmarks of the city of Halle. The young Georg Friedrich Händel learned to play on the organ. The leaf was made as a copper engraving by the eraser and publisher Johann David Schleuen (1711-1774). His signature does not appear in the sheet. Furthermore, the paper was published in Johann Christoph von DreyWeiter( 1699-1768) “Description of the Saal-Creyses.” In addition, a specimen of the paper was already on display in an exhibition of the Franckeschen Foundations from 2009/2010.
