PMR-D3422 Germany, Saxony-Anhalt, Magdeburg: the first Gothic building on German territory was the cathedral, which began as Romanesque in 1209. A fortification stood on the site already in 805. The high Gothic nave, looking east, with the porphyry font, which probably goes back to the Ottonian cathedral, in the foreground.
