            St. Georg, Reichenau, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.

La Iglesia de San Jorge es una iglesia católica romana. Es parte de la Abadía de Reichenau fundada en el año 724, ubicada en la isla de Reichenau en el lago Constanza en el sur de Alemania. La isla alberga las iglesias de Santa María, Marco, Pedro y Pablo. La iglesia fue construida a finales del siglo IX para albergar la reliquia de la cabeza de San Jorge, un regalo del Papa Gregorio II, que conmemoraba la visita a Roma del abad Hoito en 896.

La iglesia es propiedad y está dirigida por el Fondo de la Iglesia Católica de San Jorge. El interior de la iglesia está decorado con pinturas murales que representan historias y figuras de las Escrituras y fue diseñado para aquellos que dedican sus vidas a la oración y la adoración.

La iglesia alberga frescos que se añadieron en el siglo X. Las pinturas murales representan una expresión artística de la Edad Media y son únicas por su antigüedad y ubicación. Son el único conjunto completo 

conservado de pinturas murales realizadas al norte de los Alpes antes del año 1000 d.C.

Los frescos se dividen en tres zonas. La primera zona y la más baja se sitúa entre la nave y los arcos. La segunda zona está encima de los arcos. La tercera y más alta zona se encuentra encima de las ventanas. El panel inferior muestra los monasterios de la isla Reichenau. La segunda es la zona más investigada. Representa los milagros de Cristo. El panel superior representa a los profetas del Antiguo Testamento y a los apóstoles del Nuevo Testamento.

Cada fresco detalla una historia específica de la vida de Cristo. Inscripciones descriptivas, o Tituli, acompañan a las pinturas.

The third and highest zone is located above the windows. The lowest panel depicts the monasteries at Reichenau Island. The second is the most researched zone. It portrays Christ's miracles.
