Magdeburger Dom

Magdeburg Cathedral

Magdeburg Cathedral is a Protestant cathedral in Germany and the oldest Gothic cathedral in the country. It is the proto-cathedral of the former Prince-Archbishopric of Magdeburg. Today it is the principal church of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. One of its steeples is 99.25 m (325 ft 7 in) tall, and the other is 100.98 m (331 ft 4 in), making it one of the tallest cathedrals in eastern Germany.

 

Der Dom ist die am frühesten fertiggestellte Kathedrale der Gotik auf deutschem Boden. Er wurde ab 1207 als Kathedrale des Erzbistums Magdeburg gebaut und im Jahr 1363 geweiht. Der Dom ist Grabkirche Ottos des Großen (Otto I.), erster Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches.
