Naumburg (Saale) is a city in the south Saxony-Anhalt with about 32,000 inhabitants. It has a well-preserved and worth seeing old town with numerous medieval, renaissance and baroque buildings. The main attraction is the late Romanesque Naumburg Cathedral with its remarkable donor figures, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018. The relatively small city is rich in sights and has retained its leisurelyness despite tourist development. Thomas Mann has it in his novel Doctor Faustus under the name of Kaisersaschern set a literary monument.
The district Bad Kosen is a spa and brine bath.

Tourist Attractions
1 Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. The late Romanesque to early Gothic cathedral is the landmark of the city of Naumburg, which is one of the most valuable European monuments. The construction of the three-aisled, two-choir basilica with four towers and a cloister began before 1213. The early Gothic west choir was built around 1250. In the first half of the 14th century the east choir was enlarged in the high Gothic style. The Romanesque crypt under the east choir was built around 1170 and was part of a previous building. The pulpit dates from 1466. The southwest tower was not completed until 1884. Between 1960 and 1968 the cathedral was completely restored.Open: March to October Mon-Sat 9 am-6pm, Sun, public holidays 11 am-6pm; November to February Mon-Sat 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Sun and public holidays 12 p.m.-4 p.m.Price: € 7.50, reduced € 5.50.
They are world famous twelve donor figures in the west choir, which were created after 1250. All figures are life-size and carved in limestone. The most famous characters are Uta von Ballenstedt and Ekkehard II of Meissen on the north side of the west choir as well Rule indis and Herrmann I. opposite on the south side. They are among the earliest realistic depictions of individual faces in the European Middle Ages. The figure of Uta is sometimes referred to as the “most beautiful woman of the Middle Ages” and Umberto Eco wrote about her: “If you ask me which woman in the history of art I would go out to dinner and spend an evening, there would be Uta von Naumburg first . “Another interesting work of art - much more recent - in the cathedral are the windows of the Elisabeth chapel designed by Leipzig artist Neo Rauch in 2007.
In the medieval city center are next to the 2 Renaissance town hall (1517 to 1528) with Ratskeller the striking 3 Kayser house with three Renaissance gables and the late Gothic 4 City Church of St. Wenceslas. This three-aisled hall church was built between 1517 and 1523 and was restored after being damaged in 1945. Its interior was redesigned in 1724. The organ was examined personally by Johann Sebastian Bach and, after its extensive restoration, can be heard regularly in concerts.
