East choir, Bishop's tomb

About in the middle of the east choir there is a tomb with the pictorial representation of a bishop. Whatever bishop may have found his last resting place here, the fact is that this tomb is one of the outstanding sculptural works of “early Gothic” period around 1250 and is attributed to the workshop of the Naumburg master. A few years ago the tomb was examined and the well preserved mortal remains of a bishop were discovered in the ornate and with bishop's staff. The curved bishop's crooks can be admired today in the cathedral treasure vault.
