Start of construction for World Heritage Center at Naumburg Cathedral

10 March 2023, Saxony-Anhalt, Naumburg: A time capsule containing objects and writings is sealed by Sven Schulze (CDU, l), Minister of Economics and Tourism in Saxony-Anhalt, and Holger Kunde, Director of the Foundation, in the former bishop's curia at the cathedral in Naumburg. The symbolic act heralds the start of construction on the "World Heritage Center." The historic building is to be converted into a visitor information center by 2025. Due to many reconstructions in the last centuries, the inner structure of the building is hardly recognizable anymore. Through various repair and restoration measures, the original substance of the monument is to be strengthened again. The construction of the center is expected to cost around 11.4 million euros. Naumburg Cathedral was inscribed on Unesco's World Heritage List in July 2018. Photo: Hendrik Schmidt/dpa (Photo by Hendrik Schmidt/picture alliance via Getty Images)
