A total of 119,701 people visited the UNESCO World Heritage Site Naumburg Cathedral in 2022. "We are on a very good path in terms of the development of visitor numbers," said the director of the United Cathedral Foundations, Dr. Holger Kunde, looking back on the past year. "The Marienretabel, which stood in the west choir for just under five months, generated very great interest. But the 9 Euro ticket also brought us many visitors from central Germany," Dr. Kunde continued. "We are constantly working in the visitor service department to make the service for the guest on site first-class, and in the marketing and public relations department new visitors are being addressed with exciting campaigns."

In preparation for the printing of the results of the scientific colloquium of the United Cathedral Foundations in November 2022, the authors Dr. Holger Kunde and Dr. Matthias Ludwig have published their contribution "Der Marienaltar im Westchor des Naumburger Domes und seine Altarflügel von Lucas Cranach dem Älteren. A critical source study" published in advance on the homepage of the foundation.

Thanks to support from the "Cultural Investment Program Digitization EU REACT", our World Heritage Site will in future be in the best possible position in terms of security and hygiene thanks to a new locking system.
