QUEDLINBURG, GERMANY! THE MOST MAGICAL MEDIEVAL CITY I HAVE EVER VISITED.
Quedlinburg is a town on the Bode north of the Harz in the Harz district (Saxony-Anhalt). Mentioned for the first time in 922 and given city charter in 994, the city was from the 10th to the 12th century the seat of the royal palace of secular rulers who visited at Easter and for almost 900 years of a women's monastery (initially spiritual, after the Reformation free-secular).
Quedlinburg's architectural heritage has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1994, making the city one of the largest area monuments in Germany.
In the historic old town with its cobblestone streets, winding alleys and small squares there are over 2,100 half-timbered houses from eight centuries. On the market is the Renaissance town hall with the Roland statue, south of it is the Schlossberg with the Romanesque collegiate church and the cathedral treasury as evidence of the Quedlinburg women's monastery. The Münzenberg with the Romanesque monastery church of St. Marien and in the valley between the Romanesque church of St. Wiperti, the adjoining abbey garden and the Brühl Park are also part of the world cultural heritage.
The city is located in the northern Harz foothills at an average altitude of 123 m above sea level. NHN, 50 km southwest of the state capital Magdeburg. The immediately adjacent heights reach around 181 m above sea level. NHN. The city lies on the Bode riverbed, with the larger part west of the river. The urban area has an area of 78.14 square kilometers.
