Naumburg (Saale)
Naumburg (Saale)
Naumburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Central Germany. The 1000-year-old cathedral city in the center of Saale-Unstrut has many historical treasures to offer. First and foremost, the famous founder figure Uta in Naumburg Cathedral, the most important building from the High Middle Ages. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2018.
The best view over the old town is promised by the former home of the 72-meter-high tower of the Church of St. Wenceslas. The house of worship also houses the largest Bach organ in the world, which offers musical highlights throughout the year. The next cultural stop leads to Germany's smallest municipal theater, a former puppet stage that has evolved over the decades into an ensemble theater.
In one of Naumburg's oldest streets, the 133-year-old brush factory catches the eye - a real one-of-a-kind that has even been mentioned in the New York Times. The "Wilde Zicke" (wild bitch), as the people of Naumburg smilingly call their streetcar, is also unique. Even in regular service, it runs exclusively with historic vehicles. The cars embody all vehicle types manufactured in the GDR and make the special charm of Naumburg literally tangible on "historic rails".
