The university and Saale town of Halle (Saale), Halle for short,
is the birthplace of George Frideric Handel. Located both at the
southern end of the Lower Saaleta Valley and in the "Metropolitan
Region of Central Germany", the largest city in Saxony-Anhalt
attracts with one of the most beautiful old town centers of all
major German cities, a rich cultural offering, many parks and
numerous restaurants. Halle is also an important transport hub.
The city of Halle (Saale) was first mentioned in 806 in the
chronicle of Moissac as Halla. The town owes its origins and upswing
to the numerous brine springs in the area that formed at the Halle
market square fault. The name of the city derives from the Middle
German word hal for salt spring, salt works. But there was a
settlement earlier. Since 968 the city belonged to the archdiocese
of Magdeburg founded by Otto I and since 1281 to the Hanseatic
League.
In 1418 construction began on the Red Tower, which
would later become Halle's landmark. In 1484 the Moritzburg was
built under Archbishop Ernst II of Saxony, which was intended to
counteract the self-confident salt workers, the Halloren. From now
until 1680, Halle was the capital and residence of the Archdiocese
of Magdeburg. Halle experienced a wedding under Cardinal Albrecht
von Brandenburg. An extensive construction program was realized in
his favorite residence. The Reformation marked the end of this era.
The cardinal fled to Mainz and Aschaffenburg with his court and art
treasures.
After the death of Duke Augustus of
Saxe-Weissenfels in 1680, the city passed first to the Electorate of
Brandenburg and later to the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1694 the
University of Halle and in 1698 the Francke Foundations were founded
as an orphanage and later a center for early enlightenment. Since
1710 the Canstein Bible Institute has been one of the foundations.
Because of its liberal spirit, the university has the reputation of
being the first "modern" university and was a role model for other
German and US universities.
The composer Georg Friedrich
Handel was born in Halle in the 17th century. Every year in June the
Handel Festival takes place in Halle, an event that attracts
numerous visitors from Germany and abroad and extends over 10 days.
The conclusion after numerous concerts and operas is crowned by
fireworks in the Galgenberg Gorge.
After the Napoleonic Wars,
the city fell to the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and back to
Prussia in 1815. The city owes renewed economic growth to the
mineral resources mined in the area, such as lignite and hard coal
as well as clay, gravel and porphyry. In 1890 the population reached
100,000 and Halle became a big city. In the same year, the Social
Democratic Party of Germany received its current name at a party
conference in the city. However, industry left its mark on the city.
The actor, comedian and writer Curt Goetz, who grew up in Halle,
described the city as charming in his memoirs. The German Academy of
Sciences Leopoldina, founded in 1652, has had its permanent seat in
Halle since 1878.
Despite its proximity to the chemical
companies Leuna and Buna, Halle was largely spared carpet bombing in
1945. It therefore has a unique urban character among the major
German cities. During the brief existence of the state of
Saxony-Anhalt after the dissolution of Prussia from 1947 to 1952,
Halle was its capital. After that, the city was the capital of the
district of the same name until 1990.
In the second half of
the 20th century, the city was the center of the chemical industry.
With the then still independent city of Halle-Neustadt and the
Halle-Silberhöhe residential area, large prefabricated housing
estates for the chemical workers were created. The city itself fell
into disrepair during this period. With the political turnaround,
the picture changed: the environmental damage caused by the chemical
industry decreased, and the Diva Halle was able to shed its
notorious gray very quickly. Even before the fall of the Wall in
1980, the nationally known New Theater was founded by Peter Sodann.
With around 239,000 inhabitants, Halle is the largest city in
Saxony-Anhalt, the fifth largest city in the new federal states and
number 31 among German cities. It is not only an important economic
center and important transport hub, but also a city of science and
culture. In addition to the university with its approximately 20,000
students, the city is the location of the Burg Giebichenstein
University of Art, several national research institutes, and since
2008 the seat of the German National Academy Leopoldina and the
German Federal Cultural Foundation. The cultural highlights include
u. the art collections of the Moritzburg Foundation and the State
Museum of Prehistory.
The inner city of Halle has been almost restored since the early
1990s and, where this process has already ended, shines in new splendor
with numerous old buildings decorated with stucco.
Remarkable is
the large number of old buildings, mainly from the Wilhelminian period,
due to the minor war damage. However, large dilapidated parts of the old
town, especially around the cathedral, were replaced with unsuitable
industrially manufactured prefabricated buildings, or supplemented with
new buildings after reunification. Very few half-timbered buildings
remain.
Halle is located on the holiday routes Fürstenstraße der Wettin, Garden Dreams – Historical Parks in Saxony-Anhalt, Himmelswege, Lutherweg Sachsen-Anhalt and Romanesque Road.
Halle Cathedral, Domstraße 3, 06108
Halle (Saale) (old town). Tel.: +49 (0)345 202 13 79, email:
halle-reformiert@t-online.de. The cathedral is located on the Saale,
near the old town. It was founded by the mendicant order of the
Dominicans. It was finished around 1300 and was initially called St.
Paul of the Holy Cross. The hall church had no tower and no transept.
Around 1510 the cathedral was completely rebuilt by Cardinal Albrecht by
Bastian Binder. Albrecht, fearing for his peace of mind in heaven,
collected up to 20,000 relics. The storage place, the cathedral, was
called the "Hallesche Heilthum". The magnificent interior was created
around 1523 by Matthias Grünewald, Lukas Cranach the Elder. Ä. and Peter
Schro. The conversion resulted in a total work of art in the late
Baroque and early Renaissance style. The round-gabled cathedral was the
largest sacred building in Central Germany in the Middle Ages. As an
opponent of the Reformation, Cardinal Albrecht had to leave Halle in
1541 and the reputation of the cathedral was diminished. In 1635, Duke
Augustus of Saxony added rich early baroque furnishings. From 1688 it
served as a church for the Evangelical Reformed. In 1851 the baroque
organ was renewed. 1883-1896 the interior was renovated in neo-gothic
style. In 1957-1959, the outer walls and the interior were poorly
renovated due to the great shortage of materials. In 1996, the
Saxony-Anhalt Cathedral Foundation bought the building and a thorough
renovation began. This work on the building structure was essentially
completed in 2005, but the works of art still need to be restored.
Exhibitions and events take place regularly in the cathedral. Open:
daily 12:00-16:00.
Market Church of Our Lady, Marktplatz 12,
06108 Halle (Saale) (old town, between Marktplatz and Hallmarkt). Email:
carstens.kant@marktkirche-halle.de (priest). The late Gothic hall church
was built in 1529-54 and replaced the older churches of St. Gertrude and
St. Marien. It is considered one of the most important late Gothic
buildings in Central Germany and one of the most perfect churches in
this style. Its four towers are from the two previous buildings, and the
church was built between the two existing pairs of towers. Together with
the Red Tower, they are regarded as Halle's landmark and gave it the
nickname City of Five Towers. Inside the church you will find valuable
furnishings from the 15th and 16th centuries, above all those by Lucas
Cranach the Elder. Ä. designed main altar and the magnificent pulpit
made of sandstone, which marks the transition from late Gothic to
Renaissance. The two organs with baroque facades from the 17th and 18th
centuries are also worth seeing. There is a guided tour of the church on

and barrel ceilings of the cross arms meet in an octagonal dome. In the
chancel are the pulpit altar and the noble boxes. The church is equipped
with an organ built in 1904 by the Zörbig master organ builder Wilhelm
Rühlmann and later expanded by him with 33 registers on two manuals and
pedal and two bells (1747, 1960) in the church tower. The adjacent
cemetery has contained graves since the 15th century, including that of
the Prussian court conductor and composer Johann Friedrich Reichardt
(1752-1814), whose garden is in the immediate vicinity. George Frideric
Handel's parents were married in this church in 1683.

was built between 1503 and 1509 as the Moritzburg chapel, probably
according to plans by Ulrich von Smedeberg and consecrated in 1514 by
Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg: the dedication table still exists
today. Its vault was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. After the
battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806, it temporarily served as a
military hospital. After 1817, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV
promoted the renovation of the castle and the rebuilding of the church,
which was rebuilt and repainted in 1898 to 1899 to mark the 200th
anniversary of the founding of the university. The hall church has a
surrounding gallery and cross vault, the choir has windows in the style
of late historicism from the workshop of Alexander Linnemann and a
neo-Gothic pulpit altar. The organ built around 1900 by the Zörbig
master organ builder Wilhelm Rühlmann was given a new organ in 1990 in

By Peter Michael. The four water-spewing Chinese-style dragons protect a
golden orb. It is not known what the sphere is meant to represent:

Markt wikipediacommons. By Heinrich Keiling. The donkey fountain is
based on a well-known legend, according to which a miller's boy and his
donkey walked along a path strewn with roses, which was actually
decorated for Emperor Otto I.
Goebel fountain, Hallmarkt. By Bernd
Goebel. The approximately 10 × 10 meter fountain on the history of Halle
has two pairs of figures on opposite sides and four groups of figures on
the corners. One pair is the Saalenixe, who danced to the music of the
Trotha shepherd, the other two fishermen on their boats at the jousting.
The other four themes are the founding of the city with the production
of the city coat of arms, the salt workers, called Halloren, Ludwig the
Springer and the muses of theater and music as well as the city
development including Cardinal Albrecht in lovemaking with a shock of
hair standing on end, who somehow remembered a miter remembered, which
is held in the hands of Lucifer. The latter representation refers to the
historically documented love triangle between the fun-loving and
passionate cardinal, his eunuch Hans von Schönitz (1499-1535) and the
Italian singer Belina Mazarotti. The cardinal later had his eunuch
hanged.

Zither-Reinhold. Reinhold Lohse (1878–1964), who came from the Glauchau
district of Halle and worked as a street musician, contracted typhus as
a child and was therefore only able to attend school up to the third
grade. The always friendly and child-loving Reinhold first went through
the streets of Halle with an organ grinder, later with a zither. His
repertoire was timeless in every respect. He also played Silent Night in
the summer, In the Prater the trees bloom again in the winter.

By plane
Leipzig/Halle Airport (IATA: LEJ) is located about 30 km
south-east of Halle and offers regular flight connections to some
airports in Germany and some European destinations as well as charter
flights. The airport has a 24-hour operating license and therefore also
serves as a freight hub and transhipment point for parcel post. It
handles more than two million passengers annually.
The airport is
connected to the long-distance and regional rail network. The airport
train station is located directly below the terminal building and can be
reached via (escalator) stairs and elevators. Hourly IC trains run from
Halle on the Hanover - Leipzig line and S-Bahn trains (S 5) run every
half hour on the Halle - Leipzig - Zwickau line. IC and S-Bahn differ in
the fare, the IC has a slightly more expensive tariff. The travel time
to Halle main station is about 10 minutes in both cases.
A taxi
ride into the Halle city area costs around €40. The taxi drivers come
almost exclusively from Leipzig. Those arriving by car can easily reach
the airport via the A9 motorway (from Berlin, Munich) and the
Schkeuditzer Kreuz and then via the A14 (from Dresden, Magdeburg). To
commute between the airport and the inner cities of Leipzig and Halle,
it is best to use the A14 and exit in the direction of the center. There
are several paid parking lots and a multi-storey car park at the
airport. The car park is directly connected to the terminal and allows
for a dry arrival/departure and the parking fees here are €2.00 per hour
(minimum €5; as of Sept. 2014). However, the long-term parking spaces
are not far from the terminal and are a lot cheaper in the long run. All
of the major rental car providers also have a stand directly in the
arrivals area.
Another (probably more attractive) alternative is
Berlin Airport. This serves far more domestic and international
destinations than Leipzig Airport.
By train
The main train
station is about 1.5 km east of the city center and can be reached on
foot in about 20 minutes via Leipziger Straße or by tram (lines 2, 4, 5,
7 and 9). In addition, the main station and the adjacent Riebeckplatz is
the hub of numerous tram and bus lines to different parts of the city.
Halle is an important railway junction with one or two-hour ICE and
IC connections to Hanover (via Magdeburg), Berlin (via Wittenberg),
Dresden (via Leipzig), Munich and Frankfurt am Main (each via Erfurt).
In regional traffic there are hourly connections to Magdeburg via
Köthen, Dessau/Wittenberg via Bitterfeld, Eilenburg via Delitzsch,
Erfurt via Weißenfels/Naumburg, Kassel via Sangerhausen/Nordhausen,
Goslar via Aschersleben/halberstadt and Bernburg. S-Bahn trains run to
Altenburg and Zwickau (via the airport and Leipzig) (S5), to Leipzig via
Schkeuditz (S3), and to the suburbs of Nietleben (S3) and Trotha (S47).
barrier-free The main station is fully barrier-free and open around
the clock, serviced (bar service on the 1st floor) and has heated
waiting rooms. It was completely modernized from 2016 to 2021, so that
the quality of stay is very high.
By bus
Halle has a number of
long-distance bus connections. The central bus station (ZOB),
Ernst-Kamieth-Platz, is located at the west exit of the main train
station. There are connections to Berlin, Erfurt, Würzburg, Dresden and
the Ruhr area, among others.
There are other connections from
Leipzig/Halle Airport.
In the street
Arrival via the A14 from
Leipzig or Magdeburg, via the A9 from Nuremberg or Berlin and the A38
from Göttingen. The branches of the A9 and the A14 in the east of Halle
lead to the B100.
By boat
There is a boat trip on the Saale to
Naumburg (Saale).
By bicycle
The place is the station of the
Saale Cycle Path and the destination of the Heavenly Path.
On
foot
Halle is a station on the Luther Trail.
In Halle (Saale), environmental zones have been set up in accordance
with the Fine Dust Ordinance. If you don't have the appropriate badge,

Halle
has a reliable local transport system (HAVAG) with trams, buses and an
inner-city S-Bahn. Halle is integrated with Leipzig in the Central
German Transport Association (MDV). Halle is well connected to the
surrounding area by S-Bahn and regional trains. A single ticket costs
EUR 2.60 (children up to the age of 13 EUR 1.60). The 24-hour card costs
6.60 euros. Taking your bike with you costs EUR 1.90 (free travel on the
