last Sunday, thanks to the perfect organisation by Jean-Luc, the announced M.Polo excursion to Magdeburg took place. During the journey by train to the town we remarked many buildings and industrial plants, mainly built by bricks, of the former East-Germany in a totally abandoned and degraded state. Anyway, Magdeburg presents itself as a modern and lively town in which ancient corners have been preserved. One corner is that of the Cathedral. Its luminous interior impresses the visitor and the prayer with the sense of ascension typical of the gothic style. Two big organs, a classical and a modern one:

On the exterior a rich collection of gargoyles. The following images illustrates our visit of the Cathedral. The visit of the exhibition Otto der Grosse and das Römische Reich - Kaisertum der Antike zum Mittelalter http://www.otto2012.de/ permitted to us to admire original documents signed by Otto with his caracteristic ligature. Unfortunately, at the exhibition, it was not allowed to take images.
Salutations
