Welcome to Merseburg Cathedral!

A thousand years ago, Merseburg was one of the most important residences of Henry II and Cunigunde, the only imperial couple ever to be canonised. They were responsible for laying the foundation stones of a cathedral in which centuries of art would be immortalised, and were the reason it rose to become one of the most important cathedral buildings in Germany. The Bishopric of Merseburg became widely known through Bishop Thietmar, whose world-famous chronicle provides insight into the events surrounding the imperial cathedral.

Als Teil des Dom-Schloss-Ensembles ist er heute ein Juwel an der „Straße der Romanik“. Die in Dom und Domschatz präsentierten Altarretabel, Skulpturen, Epitaphe, Gemälde und Handschriften, darunter die berühmten Merseburger Zaubersprüche sind von besonderer kulturgeschichtlicher Bedeutung. Ein Klangerlebnis der besonderen Art bietet die romantische Ladegastorgel
