Backgroundinformation

The cathedral is the first cathedral building on German soil to be built entirely in the Gothic style. Since construction began in 1207, the church has been extended, restored and remodelled several times, most recently in the 1950s after it was severely damaged by Allied air raids in 1944. The cathedral is a Protestant parish church and the preaching church of the regional bishop of the Protestant Church in Central Germany. It is also the burial church of a famous ruler. Emperor Otto I the Great from the Liudolfing dynasty (Ottonians) was Duke of Saxony and King of the East Franconian Empire from 936, King of Italy from 951 and Roman Emperor from 962. He was laid to rest in a stone coffin in the choir area of the cathedral.
