As the Catholic Bishop's Church of Magdeburg, the Cathedral of Saint Sebastian has been the spiritual center of the Magdeburg diocese since 1994. However, its history goes back further, because in 1015 the Archbishop of Magdeburg at the time, Gero, laid the foundation stone of the first Sebastianskirche.
The collegiate church at that time was so severely damaged by fires in 1188 and 1207 that a new building became necessary in the 14th and 15th centuries, respectively, which helped St. Sebastian to its current form as a Gothic hall church. The time of the Thirty Years' War also left its mark on this church, which subsequently fell into ruin and lost its cloister, among other things. Towards the end of the 17th century, St. Sebastian was poorly prepared so that services could be held there again. In 1811, however, the monastery, which had become Protestant during the Reformation, was finally dissolved. The Napoleonic occupation troops then used the church as a warehouse, forge and workshop. When more and more Catholic Christians from the Catholic areas of Prussia moved to Magdeburg in the 19th century, a suitable church for this growing community was sought. After several years as guests in St. Katharinen and the Liebfrauenkloster, the Sebastianskirche, which in the meantime functioned as a wool magazine, was finally bought by the city of Magdeburg in 1873 and restored. After extensive restoration and conversion measures, the first Holy Mass after the Reformation was celebrated here in 1878. See kathedralpfarrei-sebastian.de/index.php/kathedrale
