in Saale-Unstrut

In the cathedral, visitors are particularly fascinated by the figures of the founders in the west choir, which were created by an unknown stone sculptor almost 800 years ago. They are taken by the variety of emotions of the figures: strong, fun-loving, melancholic, sensitive, proud, courageous and witty, the donors appear - overwhelming when you consider that they were carved out of stone around 1240 and yet seem so alive.
