★★★ Worth a journey in itself
During the medieval, Magdeburg was a political
centre of Europe and was considered to be the
”Third Rome“, next to Constantinople. Otto the
Great, the son of the first German King Henry I
and founder of the Holy Roman Empire, chose
Magdeburg as his favourite residence and gave
it to his first wife Editha as a wedding gift. In
1209, the construction of the first Gothic-design
cathedral in Germany began.

The building, which was built from 1064, is
among the best preserved of the Romanesque
period. The church and cloister give an authentic impression of the original construction of
the collegiate chapter, which was founded in
1017 / 1018. Today, it houses the art museum of
the state capital, the most important location

Gothic hall church with wide Romanesque tower
dating back to the middle of the 12th century.
The church was constructed of quarry stone
ashlars. The western tower has been preserved
from the original Romanesque structure. Around
1400, the nave was re-built into a three-aisled
hall with five bays with a one-aisled choir. The
ground floor of the tower has two round arches
with twin arch brick inserts. The large multi-part
lancet windows in the choir are striking.

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE
Saxony-Anhalt and
the ”Romanesque Road“
About 1000 years ago, Duke Henry of Saxony
became the King of Eastern Franconia. Under
the previous German kingship of the Ottonian dynasty, the region around the Harz and
Magdeburg had become the centre of Western
history. Henry’s son, Otto the Great, founded
the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
Today, you can relive this exciting history at 80
original sites along the ”Romanesque Road“
tourist trail.
You will encounter unforgettable traces of
this era, castles and royal palaces, impressive
cathedrals, monasteries full of life and the four
stunning highlights of the ”Romanesque Road“ –
the Cathedral Treasures.
Along the more than 1000 kilometres of this
route, you will discover buildings of remarkable
beauty as well as living history with knight tournaments, mediaeval markets and village fairs.
Mediaeval banquets, jugglers and minstrels
will make you rejoice, fill your heart and stomach
with love and provide you with entertainment.
The Northern and Southern routes are shaped as
a figure-of-eight, with Magdeburg, the favourite
place of Otto the Great, at the centre. Here, you
can find the tomb of Otto the Great and his first
wife Editha at the Magdeburg Cathedral, which
is the first Gothic building in Germany.

The tourist region of Saxony-Anhalt will impress both culture vultures
and nature lovers alike: With the mediaeval architecture of the

Today, there are only a few remains of the lateRomanesque convent abbey, which bears witness
to the significance once held by the Hillersleben
Convent. Of its mediaeval interior, the cherubs
standing next to the dormitory and two capitals
have been preserved. The font from 1580 and the
baroque epitaph are worth a special mention.
The building, which dates back to the 11th / 12th
century, can only be viewed from the outside.

The convent ruins are located picturesquely by
the shores of Lake Arendsee. The cross-shaped
basilica, one of the earliest vaulted brick churches
in the region, is a perfectly preserved example of
Romanesque architecture. The portal is a prime
example of mediaeval building symbolism. The
wooden crucifix from 1240 and the Gothic carved
altar are worth seeing.
13
The collegiate church was founded by the diocese of Verden. It is one of the oldest brick
churches north of the Alps. Its construction
plan corresponds to a typical basilica with two
half-height nave aisles and choir aisle. Daylight is
provided to the middle nave by regular windows
in the clerestory. Originally, there was a square
defence tower on the west side. Particularly
worthy of note is the fact that the bricks have
been chiselled like cut stones.
14
Today’s cathedral building was built between
1279 and 1330. The combination of Romanesque
and Gothic style created in this way is still easily
recognisable today. The numerous stained glass
windows are of particular value. The rood screen,
built in around 1400, is impressive with its
Passion reliefs and sculptures.
The Romanesque church, a three-aisled basilica
founded in around 1200, was modelled on the
church of Jerichow. Even today, a walk through
the church with its 7 round-arched arcades, the
rectangular and round pillars with carefully
carved trapeze capitals, the high triumphal arch
and the simple wooden ceiling offer the visitor
a living insight into the modest beauty of Romanesque architecture.
16
The three-aisled basilica, which was consecrated
in 1212, was the church in which Count Otto
von Bismarck was baptised in 1815. The wooden
crucifix of 1235 is worth seeing. The church is
considered to be the most significant successor
building to the abbey church of Jerichow. The
building is particularly impressive by its size
which is extraordinary for a village church. The
Bismarck Museum is located in the building next
to the church.
17
The half-timbered tower and baroque roof show
the serious renovations of this church, which was
founded in around 1200. The Flemish-style coffered ceiling is worth seeing. Hans Hermann von
Katte was laid to rest at this church. The young
Prussian officer was executed because he had
helped his friend, the young Crown Prince and
subsequent King Friedrich II, to desert.
18
The village church, built in around 1200 and well
preserved in its late-Romanesque character, is
one of several modelled on the Abbey church of
Jerichow. It is a special testimony to the simplicity and, nevertheless, remarkable architecture of
the Romanesque era. The church presumably belonged to one of the eleven Slavic villages within
the castle district of Kabelitz, which came under
the rule of the Jerichow dioceses in 1146.
Founded in 1144 as a missionary stronghold for
the Christianisation of the Elbe Slavs, the preserved Romanesque monastery is one of the
oldest brick buildings east of the River Elbe.
Shortly after, about 20 Romanesque village
churches were built around the monastery. The
monastery museum provides information about
the history and significance of this monastery,
which closed in the 16th century.

The grand, late-Romanesque brick building near
the former Slavic hill fort was built at the end of
the 12th century. The closed Baroque furnishings
of the nave (around 1700) with its pews is worth
seeing. Galleries, the pulpit and the magnificent
Renaissance epitaph for Bailiff Melchior von
Arnstedt (†1606) were created by the Magdeburg
sculptor Sebastian Ertle.
Unique murals make this church, which was built
in the middle of the 12th century, a gem on the
”Romanesque Road“. The paintings in the apse are
particularly well preserved and have been conserved but not supplemented in their colours. In
this way, their original Romanesque appearance
can still be seen by visitors. The Pretzien Music

The rectangular choir and parts of the broad
stone tower with its western set-off portal, as
well as parts of the triumphal arch and the wide
round arch opening to the nave, still exist. The
six existing clerestory windows, which were previously bricked up, have been opened up again.

Today’s church building is already the third on
this site. Barely anything has been preserved
from the first early-Romanesque church, except
the apse on the east wall of the northern aisle.
The retable from 1607, the pulpit of 1606 and a
font – all created by Magdeburg sculptor Michael
Spies – are particularly beautiful.

Late-Romanesque stone church from the early
13th century, which also served as a protective and fortified church in the medieval. The
original interior of the church includes one of the
oldest triumph crosses in the region, which was
removed in around 1900 and is exhibited today
at the Altmark Museum in Stendal.
This brick church with the characteristic circular
windows was originally three-aisled and built ca.
1250 during the transition from Romanesque to
Gothic period. The contrast between the red brick,
black glazed shaped bricks and white veneers is typical for this region. Not used since the Reformation,
used as a salt storeroom (1692 to mid-19th century),
major structural losses (tower, nave aisles). A Catholic parish church since 1860. Partial reconstruction
and restoration between 1961 – 1964.

NORDHUSEN RUINS
The village of Nordhusen no longer exists. The ruins
of the parish church, which was built around 1200
together with the western tower of a village church
that no longer exists are all that can be seen. The
grand 17 metres high cross tower is reminiscent of
a settlement of significance 800 years ago, which
had already been abandoned in the medieval.
Further historical evidence is provided by a partially
preserved ravine and the remains of the water mill
which burned down in 1843.
The oldest vaulted pure Romanesque church
in the Altmark region and one of the best
preserved. It has a Holy Sepulchre. The richly
adorned and gabled embrasure portal jutting out
from the front wall of the southern transept and
the original mural painting in the window reveals
of the eastern parts, consisting of white-red
chequered and triangular ornaments are particularly worth seeing.
A small bronze crucifix dating back to the middle
of the 12th century with an image of the front
of Christ on a cross is of nationwide importance.
Elaborate brick friezes and the horseshoe gallery
are also worth seeing. The church has a flatroofed nave, a tapered cross-vaulted rectangular
choir, a high apse and a broad three-storey
western cross tower.

FOR LITTLE DISCOVERERS
The ”Romanesque Road“ tourist trail weaves
through the state of Saxony-Anhalt like a figureof-eight. The state capital of Magdeburg is situated at the intersection of the Northern and
Southern routes. The visitor centre in the ”Romanesque House“ is the place to go for inquisitive
tourists. As a result, another touristic attraction
has been created in immediate proximity to the
Magdeburg Cathedral.
The exhibition in the House tells stories from
the medieval divided into the categories of ”Emperors and Kings“, ”Churches and Monasteries“,
”Knighthood, Nobility and Castles“ and ”Farmers,
Citizens and Tradesmen“. You can discover the economic and political stimuli from the Romanesque
Era, which have followed through into today’s
Saxony-Anhalt, and what testimony from this era
is still preserved along the ”Romanesque Road“.
Visitors can get active too – with writing exercises
in the multimedial scriptorium or at the audio

CATHOLIC PARISH OF
The Abbey church of the Benedictine monks,
which was founded in 1110 and consecrated in
1135, is one of the few Catholic monasteries in
the Duchy of Magdeburg to survive the turmoil of
the reformation until 1804. Parts of the tiled
floor, the entrance portal and the decoration on
the crossbars of the columns have been preserved from the original Romanesque interior.
Sculptures of different eras are also worth
seeing.

The view of the church, which was built in the
10th century, is characterised by a flèche, which
was built in the 12th century. Inside the church,
you will find the remains of Romanesque murals
and sculptures of outstanding artistic value, such
as the portrayal of Christ as the ”World Judge“
with the 12 apostles. Furthermore, you will find
an angel relief from the 12th century and a tree
of life tympanum from the 13th century.
30
The unusually rich ornamentation of this church
from around 1110 deserves special attention,
such as the depictions of animals and plants on
the capitals within the church. The collegiate
church was built by the Augustinian canons. The
Hamersleben complex also includes the enclosure
building, the courtyard and approx. 5 hectares of
park trees, bushes and plants typical to the area.
The 1,000 year old Westerburg castle is the
oldest and best preserved moated castle in
Germany. Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque elements blend together into an exciting
structure. The castle chapel of 1681 is worth
seeing. Stylish, individual rooms, representative
ballrooms, several restaurants, a beauty centre,
generous spa area, south terrace on the castle
moat, romantic palace gardens, cultural events
and more await the visitors.
32
Romanesque church of 1121, the most significant building of the Saxon Romanesque era. The
interior dates back to the 18th century. Romanesque hall in the priory square. The Benedictine
monastery was built in 1084 on the site of a
former Carolingian fortress. Today, it is used as
an ecclesiastic and cultural centre. Well preserved
Abbey with a conference centre and guest house
in the middle of the Huy forest.
33
The Halberstadt Cathedral was built in the purest
Gothic style between 1236 and 1486 based on the
model of French cathedrals. The late-Romanesque
ensemble of triumph crosses (from around 1220)
is considered to be the most important part of the
interior, a masterpiece of mediaeval carvers. The
cathedral treasure, with more than 650 pieces of
the most significant, preserved church treasure in
the world, is unique. Romanesque tapestries are
among the highlights of the exhibition.
A cross-shaped column basilica with a threepart sanctuary ending in apses. It is the only
Romanesque basilica with four towers in Central
Germany. Its famous choir screens are among the
most significant pieces of the late-Romanesque
era. It was built at the beginning of the 11th
century. The colourful stucco reliefs from the
13th century and the triumphal cross from 1230
are worth seeing.
34
From the Romanesque era, an impressive tower
front from 1150 and ore font, choir of 1516 with
winged altar from 1484 and Renaissance council
pews, early Protestant nave from 1557 with a
bridal portal, which was restored in 2007, Protestant emblem iconography in stonemason reliefs
on pillars, arcades and keystones, galleries with
biblical pictures dating back to 1589, pulpit and
epitaph from the Renaissance, memorial organ
on a Baroque gallery.
35
The Romanesque walls of the monastery of St Peter
and St Paul in Ilsenburg, built between 1078 and 1087,
recount the history. You can discover fascinating facts
from the heartland of German kings and emperors during a guided tour. The remains of a gypsum floor (12th
century) and other rarities provide unique insights
into the medieval. Enjoy glorious views from the Harz

Drübeck Abbey, via the Ilsenburg and Wöltingerode
Monasteries, to the Grauhof Convent in Goslar.

fieldstone convent walls. The gardens are among

In the enclosure buildings, significant elements
from the Romanesque and Gothic eras have been
preserved, such as the cloister, refectory and
chapter hall. The monastery gardens have been
renovated following historical models. An exhibition of historical musical instruments can be
found in the Baroque west wing of the enclosure.
38
QUEDLINBURG
ST SERVATIUS
The Romanesque collegiate church of St Servatius
houses the tombs of the first German royal couple from the early medieval, Henry I and his wife
Mathilde. The cathedral treasures are world-famous. They include gems of the greatest historical value, including valuable, decorated reliquary
caskets and manuscripts from the early medieval.
Many of these were gifts from the Ottonian Emperor to the church of his family diocese.
38
QUEDLINBURG
BASILICA OF ST WIPERTI
In the place of the first small hall church at the
court of Henry I, a three-aisled basilica was built
in 950, in which the crypt, which is still preserved
today, was added subsequently (around 1000). It
has remained unchanged, even after the rebuilding of the church in the 12th century.
43
In the 11th century, the Konradsburg castle was
the ancestral seat of the noble family of Konradsburg. It was given up in around 1120 and taken
over by the Benedictines. The skilful capitals in
the crypt are among the most beautiful examples of Romanesque architecture. Castle festivals, cookery classes in the ”Black Kitchen“ and
concerts make it possible to recreate the world of
the medieval.

Seeburg Castle is one of the biggest and oldest
castles (1036) of Central Germany. In 1287, the
Count of Mansfeld took over the castle. The
church of the collegiate, which was founded by
Archbishop Wichmann in 1179, is single-aisled.
The transept and apses are preserved in the
external walls. The widow tower from the 11th
century has been lovingly restored and it is now
possible to marry, stay overnight and celebrate
here.
47
The most significant Romanesque sacral building
in the Harz-Kyffhäuser region. Built between
1116 and 1123 as a Ludowingian memorial
church. St Ulrich is a three-aisled column basilica
with five apses modelled on Burgundy churches
(such as Cluny). The Thuringian Count Louis II,
also known as ”the Jumper“, is the founder of this
church.
48
It was possible to reconstruct the main features
of the Ottonian palace, which is within sight
of the Kyffhäuser mountains and was first
mentioned in 972, so that life in a royal court
1000 years ago can be imagined in the open-air
museum. Furthermore, a reconstructed rampart
gives a good impression of how strong the former defence installations once were.
49
As a Franconian imperial castle founded in the 8th
century, Allstedt was one of the most frequented
palaces in Saxony during the reign of the Ottonians.
The imposing complex obtainedits appearance
during the late-Gothic to Baroque era. Today, the
maincastle with many details of mediaeval castle
architecture is amuseum. Müntzer and Goethe were
among the guests here. The unique castlekitchen,
castle chapel, permanent exhibitions and beautiful
innercourtyard are worth a particular look.

Naumburg Cathedral is one of the most famous
buildings on the ”Romanesque Road“. It marks
the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic era. The crypt of the preceding building and a
Romanesque crucifix (from the 12th century) are
well preserved. The Cathedral is most famous
for its statues of the church founders, including
Margrave Ekkehard and his beautiful wife Uta
(from the 13th century). A visit to the neighbouring cathedral treasure vault is worthwhile.
The chapel of the Curia of St Aegidius was built
in the first quarter of the 13th century. The
Romanesque chapel construction, with its unique
exterior architecture, has a coupled chapel room
inside, which even has the remains of its original
paintings. The tympanum from the former
Romanesque portal and parts of the figurative
Romanesque capitals have been preserved from
the time of construction.
56
The Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul is incorporated into the early-Baroque Moritzburg castle
complex. It served as the main residence of
the Dukes of Sachsen-Zeitz. Behind the Gothic
façade of the Cathedral, the remains of the 11th
century Romanesque collegiate church have been
preserved. The crypt, the choir and major parts of
the transept also date back to this church.

The huge castle complex high above the winegrowing town of Freyburg was founded in 1090.
The twin-chapel, built in 1180, is a rare architectural gem. Events such as ”Montalbâne – The
International Days of Mediaeval Music“ support
the effect of the architecture. In the ”Children’s
Chamber“, children of today can familiarise themselves with the historical background through
play.

Late-Romanesque three-aisled basilica in a bound
system from the period of 1225. The construction
of this church was initiated by the Thuringian
Landgrave Louis IV and his wife Elisabeth, who
was later made a saint. From the original construction, the following have been preserved:
Flèche with transept, choir transept and the
double-towered west front with porch, on the
rear wall of which the Romanesque stepped
portal is located.

This church is considered to be an archetype
of Romanesque village church architecture.
Outstandingly preserved quarry stone building
from the 12th century with a clear architectural
structure. At the beginning of this century, the
church was freed from all subsequent additions
and reconstructions and its Romanesque simplicity was recreated. Despite its simplicity, the clean
architecture is impressive.

Halle (Saale)
GIEBICHENSTEIN UPPER CASTLE
A Giebichenstein Castle was mentioned in documents in 961. The Magdeburg archbishops rebuilt it
in the 12th century. Since the Thirty Years’ War, the
remains of this Romanesque upper castle structure
have been part of the Giebichenstein castle together
with the lower castle structure. Excavation works in
the 1960s were the basis for opening the architectural museum. The area of the upper castle on rocks
above the River Saale gives visitors the opportunity
to visit the gate tower and the vaulted cellars.
60
The mighty tower dates from the late 12th
century. It rises above a star-shaped, sweeping
foundation. With its 3 1 ⁄2 metre thick walls, the
keep was the last safe retreat of the castle. From
44 metres high, there is a beautiful view over the
city of Bernburg and its surrounding areas. The
22nd episode of the epic of Eulenspiegel tells of
the jester who served as the watchman for the
Count of Anhalt.

The Romanesque hall church preserved in its original design with late-Gothic stencil paintings on
the interior ceiling, is a chapel-like construction
made with quarry stones with a half-rounded
apse to the east, which connects directly to the
small rectangular hall. The normally traditional sanctuary between the hall and the apse is
missing here. This beautifully preserved towerless village church from the 12th century is now
located in the middle of a residential area.
61
This complex, which was founded in 975 as a
monastery, shows the transition from the Romanesque to Gothic era, despite fires and alterations. During excavation work, precious architectural elements from the predecessor buildings
were discovered, which justified inclusion in the
”Romanesque Road“. The individual construction
phases inside the monastery church blend seamlessly into one other leading to a consistent and
harmonious design of a Gothic hall.

The basilica, which was built from around 1150,
is one of the best preserved churches on the
”Romanesque Road“. The Neo-Romanesque
painting, such as ornaments, gildings and curtain
paintings, was restored in the 1990s and gives
the chapel its magnificent character. A circle of
14 late-Romanesque stucco angels (from around
1225 / 30) is of particular value and acknowledged
as a “highlight of Saxonian Byzantinism“.

The mostly originally preserved Romanesque
building was first mentioned in 1188. The church,
which was consecrated by Thomas Becket of
Canterbury, was originally a three-aisled, crossshaped basilica with a western double tower
front. The late-Romanesque main portal with
its knotted columns is a rare architectural sight.
Restored after years of misuse and consecrated
again in 1995, it is now a treasure of sacred contemporary art.

antiking of Henry IV who died in 1080, is located in
the east choir of the cathedral. The Merseburg Incantations (10th century) are kept in the chapterhouse of the Merseburg Cathedral. The Merseburg
cathedral is known beyond the borders of SaxonyAnhalt because of the restored cathedral organ of
Friedrich Ladegast from year 1855. With its 5687
pipes, it is considered to be one of the largest and
most romantic organs of Central Germany.

A Romanesque architectural phase and two
subsequent Gothic phases can be seen at the
ruins of the Eckartsburg Castle above the town
of Eckartsberga. The founding of the castle by
Eckart I in around 998 secured the Eckartian rule
of the west and made it possible to control major
trading routes. Today, the castle offers a varied
programme for young and old.

ILSENBURG
This flat-roofed pillar basilica has no crypt and
was built around 1170. The church’s interior,
especially the additions in the tower, the choir
stalls for the nuns and the passages to the collegiate buildings date back to this period. On the
other hand, the towers were not roofed until the
first half of the 13th century. It is generally assumed that the crypt was removed in the time of
the Reformation.

Built in the 12th century, Falkenstein Castle is one
of the most impressive and best preserved castles of
the Harz region. Its fortification and the interior of
the castle museum, such as the great hall, the Herrenstube men’s room, the royal room, castle chapel
and late Gothic kitchen provide guests with an
impressive impression of mediaeval life, even today.
According to legend, the ”Sachsenspiegel“, the most
significant German-language legal document of the
medieval, was created here by Eike von Repgow.

Ballenstedt is considered to be the oldest ancestral
home of the Ascanians and the birthplace of
Anhalt. In 1043, a collegiate chapter was founded
on the castle hill, which was converted into a
Benedictine monastery in 1123. The castle is
particularly impressive because of the Romanesque west wing of the former Abbey church. The
Nicholas chapel houses the tomb of ”Albert the
Bear“, the most significant Ascanian of the 12th
century.
Both King Henry I (†936) and Emperor Otto I
(†973) died in Memleben. Remains of a monument church from the 10th century and monastery ruins from the first half of the 13th century
can be found at this significant site, with the
originally preserved late-Romanesque crypt.
Furthermore, the mediaeval monastery garden,
various exhibitions and the monastery shop are
open to visitors.

The oldest preserved reproduction of the Holy
Sepulchre can be found in the Collegiate Church
of St Cyriacus which Margrave Gero consecrated
in 961. At Easter, the Sepulchre is at the focus of
the Mediaeval Easter plays. The Rhenish alternation of pillar and column supports characterises
the Romanesque nave, in which many concerts
and services take place. The remains of the
mediaeval cloister can be found in the collegiate
courtyard.
