In its almost 1000 years of history, Naumburg Cathedral has experienced many epidemics. In the Middle Ages and early modern times, plague and cholera also ravaged the Central German region and forced the people to develop numerous strategies to fight the epidemics. Matthias Ludwig, head of the Cathedral Chapter Archive, takes you on an exciting journey back to the times of old superstitions and first concrete hygienic and medical endeavours. Perhaps you even remember one or two medieval measures?
