Root Screen Magdeburger Dom

Root Screen Magdeburger Dom

Behind the mid-15th century rood screen (Lettner) is the high choir with the sarcophagus of Emperor Otto the Great. In the choir on the bishop’s gallery are colored pillars from antiquity imported by Otto from Ravenna. These are topped by sculptures, from the left: Andreas (sans cross), Paul, and Peter from around 1220, and John the Baptist, St Maurice, and St Innocent from after 1232.
