Die Konradsburg

If you visit Konradsburg Castle in the Harz foothills today, it is as if Dr. Iken's request had been answered. ¬Generations of committed monument conservators have turned the historic castle into a jewel worth visiting. Together, under the leadership of the Förderkreis Konradsburg e. V., they succeeded in averting the final decay. This book reports on this voluntary commitment, traces for the first time in scientific meticulousness the history of construction, art and use of Konradsburg in the past thousand years and pays tribute to one of the outstanding artistic achievements of the Saxon cultural landscape in the first half of the 13th century with the early Gothic triumphal cross that has been back there since 2001.
