🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located in the eastern Thuringian Basin, Naumburg Cathedral was founded in 1028 and is an outstanding testimony to medieval art and architecture. Its Romanesque structure is flanked by two Gothic choirs, demonstrating the stylistic shift from late Romanesque to early Gothic. The west choir dates from the first half of the 13th century and reflects changes in religious practices and the emergence of science and nature in figurative art. The choir and the life-size statues of the cathedral's founders are masterpieces of the workshop known as the "Naumburg Masters".
