STATE(S) PARTY(IES): Federal Republic of Germany
EVALUATION OF THE NOMINATION OF THE SITE: The Naumburg Cathedral and the Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut – territories of power in the High Middle Ages (Germany)
RELEVANT ADVISORY BODY’S EVALUATION1: ICOMOS
The deficits and errors listed below culminate in a fundamentally erroneous understanding by the Advisory Body of the cultural landscape of the High Middle Ages under evaluation, in line with Criteria IV and V of the OUV as applied to the nomination and the definition of a cultural landscape in the “Guidelines on the inscription of specific types of properties on the World Heritage list” 6-13, in particular 10. (ii). The Advisory Body objects to the term “territory of power” and implies that it is a term invented by the nominating party. ICOMOS is not aware that this term is a customary terminus technicus and is currently used in discourse to characterise very differing contexts of various epochs (cf. B. Giblin, Les territoires de pouvoirs en France, in: Hérodote 2 (2004), p. 5-13; Colloquium “Territories of power” http://www.bk.tudelft.nl/fileadmin/Faculteit/BK/Actueel/Agenda/Agendapunten_2010/doc/One_Day_Col loquium__Urbanism.pdf (5.6.2015); Jan Moye, Herrschaftsräume und Herrschaftswissen ägyptischer Lokalregenten, Amsterdam 2013, S. 222, 231, 236). The special feature of spatial organisation along the Saale and Unstrut was the density of holders of power in a very small area (Landgrave of Thuringia, Margrave of Meissen, bishop of Naumburg, abbots, ministerials, citizens, etc.), who all and each separately acquired their own territories of power and competed with each other. It is thanks to their action that – in interplay with village settlement forms, towns, castles, monasteries, churches and the cathedral – the elements of the cultural landscape (ramparts, forest-field borders, canal constructions, cultivated areas, in particular vineyards and quarries, etc.) created during this period (11th – 13th century) still constitute the dominating feature of the area today. There is no comparable region where this development in the High Middle Ages has survived in this same density and authenticity, in such a small space and with the totality of all features and manifestations, as in the nominated area of the rivers Saale and Unstrut.
