Münster St. Georg
Münster St. Georg rises in the heart of Dinkelsbühl, Bavaria, as a late Gothic hall church designed by Niclaus Eseler. Its west tower reaches 62 metres and combines six square stories with a gallery, balustrade, and two-storey octagon. The church is wheelchair accessible.
Construction took place between 1448 and 1499, replacing an earlier church dedicated to Saint George. Twenty-two free-standing octagonal pillars support the ribbed vault, while ten nave bays lead into a half-hexagonal inner choir and a six-sided ambulatory. A double sundial from around 1450 marks the exterior, and the building became a monument of national significance in 2018.
Inside, the high altar from 1892 incorporates a Gothic Crucifixion group dating from around 1490. The Joseph altar adds a late Gothic painted predella within a Neo-Gothic setting.
