Including the tomb of Emperor Otto I. and his wife Editha, Romanesque bronze memorial slabs and early gothic sand stone sculptures like the wise and foolish virgins.

Present-day visitors to Magdeburg Cathedral are now met with a monumental interior rich in stone work which is flooded with a surprising amount of light and boasts extremely impressive architecture. The building is also full of unique and internationally renowned original exhibits representing nearly all periods of art history, for example spolia from the building’s Ottonian predecessor, the original tomb of Emperor Otto I and his first wife Edith, Romanesque bronze grave markers, early Gothic sandstone sculptures including the famous figures of the “Clever and Stupid Virgins”, the outstanding carvings on the choir stalls of the canons dating back to the 14th century and Renaissance paintings of an exquisite quality right through to 20th-century art such as the famous war memorial designed by Ernst Barlach.
