Naumburg

The city spans across the Saale River valley, featuring medieval architecture, including residential towers and ancient fortification walls from different construction periods.

The bishop of Zeitz transferred his seat to Naumburg in 1028, establishing it as a religious center and leading to the construction of the cathedral.

The Naumburg Cathedral contains twelve life-sized statues of the original founders, created by the Naumburg Master workshop in the 13th century.

The administrative district provides public services to 33,000 residents and maintains connections to major cities through regional trains and the B87 highway.

The annual Hussite Cherry Festival commemorates a 1432 event where children gathered cherries outside the walls during a military siege.
