Halberstadt Cathedral St. Stephen and St. Sixtus

The masterpieces of textile art are world famous, such as the Abraham Engel carpet from around 1150. A once collapsible ivory writing tablet, a consular dipthychon from Ravenna from 416, is the oldest exhibit. The richly decorated Byzantine bread bowl from the 11th century is particularly magnificent.

The most important piece of equipment is the monumental triumphal cross group that was created around 1210. The patron saint of the Halberstadt cathedral is enthroned on two pillars of the late Gothic rood screen: St. Stephen on the left, St. Sixtus on the right. Above the pillars is the Lettnerbühne, which was built in the cathedral at the beginning of the 16th century. It is so large that even a small orchestra or choir can play from there.

Imposing church building with beautiful towers. You should see the cathedral treasure.
