In front of the cemetery entrance gate stands this processional altar made of sandstone, according to the inscription from the year 1720. On a table base with an inscription cartouche stands a canopy supported by columns, the back wall of which is adorned with a relief of the Coronation of Mary. On the roof of the canopy stands a figure of Jesus with a crown of thorns, a so-called Ecce Homo representation, after the exclamation of Pontius Pilate, who presented the prisoner Jesus of Nazareth to the Jewish people: "Behold, the man", in Latin "Ecce Homo".

This year, the history of the parish "St. Georg" in Eßleben, which was first mentioned in a document in 1286, reaches exactly 740 years into the past. Various church buildings have housed the faithful over the centuries, and the present-day St. Georg church was consecrated in 1810. The hall church is oriented in an east-west direction; at its eastern end rises the slender facade tower with its Welsch-style cupola, covered with black slate, and the large dial of the tower clock. The interior of the church, designed in a rather modern style, is bright and simple.
