Halberstadt (dpa / sa) - Cathedral and cathedral treasure in Halberstadt are preparing for the planned reopening this Saturday.
In the past few months, repairs and cleaning work have been carried out behind closed doors and the lighting control has been optimized, as Domschatz spokeswoman Claudia Wyludda announced.
Stone objects were cleaned, such as a figure from the 14th century with mediaeval paint deposits.
In addition, parts of the exhibition have been redesigned.
In the Gewändersaal, for example, a delicate Mary's cloak will be shown next to a statue of the Virgin Mary from the 14th century.
It is there next to a processional flag made of green silk, which comes from the 14th century.
It is adorned with one of the oldest Byzantine embroidery of the 12th century.
The Halberstädter Domschatz is one of the most extensive medieval church treasures in Europe.
It includes around 650 relics, carpets, robes, ivory carvings and goldsmithing work.
Unlike many other church treasures, it was preserved at its place of origin.
