Following extensive renovation, a new chapter is beginning at the Stiftsberg Quedlinburg World Heritage Site. From 28 March 2026, visitors will be able to experience the exhibition in St. Servatii Collegiate Church, the elaborately restored architecture of the ensemble, the inner courtyards with the newly designed façades of the collegiate buildings, and the garden with its reconstructed garden house. Also worth seeing are the redesigned Black Kitchen and the new exhibition in St. Servatii Collegiate Church, the crypt and the treasure chambers. The Stiftsberg is once again a coherent site and offers an impressive preview of what is to come in the coming months.

The complete museum tour with the exhibition in the castle museum is scheduled for summer 2026. On 27 March 2026, the exhibition section in the collegiate church will be officially opened, whetting visitors' appetites for what is to follow in the castle museum in the summer.

The Stiftsberg is the crown jewel of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Quedlinburg. The ensemble is one of the most important places in German and European history. From 919 onwards, King Henry I developed Quedlinburg into the centre of early Ottonian power and, at his own request, was buried in his favourite palace in Quedlinburg in 936. Queen Mathilde and Otto I founded a secular convent here, which played a decisive role in the political and spiritual structure of the town and the empire until its dissolution in 1802.
