hugs heike
here some informations
The cathedral "St. Catherine and Mauritius" is the oldest Gothic church on German soil and with its height of 104 meters, the highest religious building in East Germany. By the early start of construction, he is also one of the greatest examples of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic, here in the first half of the 13th Century took place. He was - built in 311 years, total construction period 1209-1520 - with multiple and sometimes very long interruptions.
Its origins lie in the year 937, Otto I, as a monastery in honor of St. Maurice, founded the church of which he had converted from 955 to Romanesque basilica.
968 was raised to the archbishopric of Magdeburg.
Magdeburg Cathedral Magdeburg burned Good Friday 1207, and Otto's cathedral burned to the ground. This calamity was the reigning Archbishop Albrecht of Kefer Castle the opportunity to demolish the old cathedral and a modern Gothic style, which he had met while studying in France, to be erected around 1209th
Until the demise of the old Catholic Archdiocese of Magdeburg, he was bishop's church. Since the Reformation, he is Protestant.
During the Second World War the Magdeburg Cathedral was badly damaged by bombs. A land mine hit the west facade of the cathedral, the organ was destroyed by strafing fire. The elimination of the damage lasted until 1955.
