The Church of our Lady in Halberstadt

photoblog-day-135.jpg

Today Halberstadt is a small town with a population of about 40,000. This was totally different in medieval times. It became a bishop’s seat 804 AD and was granted market rights in 989 AD. The church of our Lady was built between 1146 -1160 AD.

Inside this Romanesque church I discovered this beautiful altar screen which is in urgent need of restoration. The images created in me an array of questions. I was wondering how the medieval world viewed the human being? It was definitely a different time without cars, computers and cameras.
