Welcome to the UNESCO-World Heritage Site of Naumburg Cathedral The Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Naumburg is one of Europe’s most important cultural monuments from the high middle ages and is a major visitor attraction on the “Romanesque Route”. One of the cathedral’s most impressive features are the twin choir screens which separate the choirs from the nave. It is the only church in the world to contain two choir screens from the high medieval period! The West Choir with its choir screen and 12 statues depicting the church’s donors, which date back to the mid-thirteenth century, forms the cathedral’s biggest attraction. Crafted by the Naumburg Master, the statue known as Uta is particularly special and is said to depict the “most beautiful woman of the middle ages”.

Don't misunderstand! It's the city, the old city of Naumburg I'm thinking about! - and I'm thinking about all this beautiful surroundings , like: Bad Sulza, Bad Kösen, Saaleck, Pforta and Freyburg - I love all this places - and it's very easy to spend a fortnight for holidays in this area! And now, for the first time I met " Uta" - my first visit of Naumburg cathedral innside! - my last visit was only outside! - and I was only 5 years old of age. - but I still remember! :) Ok, today it was easy, going up to the Dom and city center by tram nr 4 from the railway station. When arriving the Dom, I was annoyed about all this business for tickets, - do this, don't do that!! pay extra for making pics and so on. Hello Naumburg - I hope you know what you are doing! You have the Dom and Uta - and actually for this moment: "that's it"!! - remember this! - a lot has to be done for the future for catching tourists to stay a night or 2! Don't price you out of business! Back to the Dom and Uta - Hello; - everybody, all of you have to go inside and looking for that beautiful face, and looking in the eyes of Uta. Then the most of you will understand my feelings. :) therefor; Thank you so much to this "unknown Master of Naumburg" for very good and unforgettable work!

This tram line was the only ring line in Germany. It was closed after reunification, but was after major popular support.partially reopened in 2007. With a distance of 2.9 km, it is probably Germany's shortest tram line. The trams used are old cars from the DDR era. In daily operation a timetable with departures every half hour is maintained with only one tram in operation. Naumburg and its tram line are a time pocket that is highly recommended. The staff on the trams belongs also to another time - they are all very helpful and friendly.
