HALBERSTADT, a city of Germany, in the circle of Lower Saxony, seated near the river Hothein. It is a neat uniform place; and has some good churches and other handsome buildings, of which the cathedral is the chief. There is an inn in this place, which is looked upon to be the largest and to have the best accommodations of any in Europe. Before the Reformation, it was a bishop's see. E. Long. 11. 24. N.
