St. George with the dragon by Gerhard Marcks

3D Model

Saint George is the patron saint of the whole district of St. George. The Church of the Holy Trinity is also often referred to as St. George’s Church in everyday life. Gerhard Marcks contributed the fitting sculpture: a depiction of the mounted St. George fighting the dragon. The story is a recurring motif in art, as its theme is the eternal struggle of good against evil.

Gerhard Marcks was born in Berlin on February 18, 1889. After graduating from high school, he turned to sculpture as an autodidact from 1907. After the First World War, he was appointed to the School of Arts and Crafts in Berlin in 1918 and to the State Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919. After the dissolution of the Weimar Bauhaus, he was appointed to the Burg Giebichenstein School of Applied Arts in Halle/Saale in 1925, becoming its deputy director in 1930. Under the new rulers, he was dismissed from his teaching post in 1933 and was banned from exhibiting from 1937.
