Magdeburg Cathedral is the oldest Gothic building on German soil and is also one of the great medieval cathedral buildings. It was built in 1207 and consecrated in 1363. However, it was not completed until 1520, when the cathedral was extended to a total interior length of 120m and a ceiling height of 32m. The sacred building was built of different sandstones, which come from various mining regions in Germany.

- Short description
- The towers are in motion, striving apart and back together again as the seasons change. The 800-year-old sandstone disappeared under crusts, and weathering and salts harmful to the building also played their part in destroying it.
