Anybody from Halle (Saxony-Anhalt)?

Question:

Anybody from Halle (Saxony-Anhalt)?

I was just wondering because I am from Halle

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: George Frideric Handel (or, in the German form: Georg Friedrich H㤮del) was from there. That's why his most famous choral piece from the Messiah has the text "Halle - lujah" (o.k., that was a really bad joke...)
