Quaintseeker: Quedlinburg, Germany "Quaintseeker: Quedlinburg, Germany" Quedlinburg is a medieval settlement with origins that can be traced back to the 9th Century. In 936, King Otto I of the Holy Roman Empire established an abbey for secular canonesses at the behest of his mother, Queen Mathilda, in honor of his father, King Henry the Fowler. It is here that the Annals of Quedlinburg originated. Although dissolved in 1803, the abbey remains one of the town's most popular attractions. In the old town of Quedlinburg you will encounter numerous half-timbered houses depicting varying architectural styles, forming a kind of historic architectural chronicle. The old town and its many attractions have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and also features on the route of the scenic Romanesque Road.

The abbey was constructed by their son, King Otto I, and served as an abode for the secular canonesses. By virtue of its status as an imperial abbey, the Quedlinburg Abbey and its abbess received bountiful grants and enjoyed by HasBS freedom from the control of the Bishop of Halberstadt, answering only to the Pope himself. The abbey continued to thrive until 1803 when it was finally dissolved and its holdings were absorbed into secular use. The abbey church of St. Servatius still stands and is a popular tourist attraction. The graves of Saint Mathilda and King Henry the Fowler can be found here. The abbey is also renowned as the site of origin of the Annals of Quedlinburg, chronicling the political history of the Holy Roman Empire. +49 3946 90 5624 (Tourist [email protected] Schloßberg 1, Quedlinburg Information) Stiftskirche St. Servatius "Quedlinburg's Landmark" Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, the Stiftskirche St. Servatius is a popular destination in Quedlinburg.

From 1711, St. Blasii was completely rebuilt in the Baroque by Feldstein style; only the medieval tower and choir remained. The nave was shaped like an elongated octagon.

  • HARZ MOUNTAINS 229 Quedlinburg Thale Gernrode © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Wernigerode Harz National Park Brocken Goslar (Harz Journey; 1824)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 229 Harz Mountains The Harz Mountains rise picturesquely from the North German Plain, covering an area 100km long and 30km wide at the junction of Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Lower Saxony. Although the scenery here is a far cry from the dramatic peaks and valleys of the Alps, the Harz region is a great year-round sports getaway, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling and skiing (downhill and nordic) in and around the pretty Harz National Park. The regular influx of visitors in all seasons is testament to the enduring appeal of the Harz; historically, too, its status as a prime national holiday destination has never been questioned. From 1952 until reunification, the region was divided between West and East Germany, effectively becoming an uneasy political holiday camp straddling the Iron Curtain. The Brocken (1142m) is the focal point, and has had more than its fair share of illustri- ous visitors: the great Goethe was frequently seen striding the local trails and set ‘Walpur- gisnacht’, an early chapter of Faust, on the mountain, while satirical poet Heinrich Heine spent a well-oiled night here, as described in Harzreise (Harz Journey; 1824). Elsewhere the charming medieval towns of Wernigerode and Quedlinburg pull the crowds, while equally venerable steam trains pull them along between the mountain villages, spas and sports resorts that litter the region. Get out your knee socks or your ski mask and treat yourself to a taste of the active life. HIGHLIGHTS Pagan Rituals Trek to the Brocken or
