Wasn't this article featured some weeks ago. Sep 26? -- Pjacobi 12:33, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Why does my page on Cathedral of Magdeburg show "East Germany" but when I go to edit it shows "the former East Germany"?
There is a dicussion about what Cathedral was based on here: link. Perhaps this should be corrected in the article? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 13:30, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
418 Watts would be just enough for four 100 W bulbs. I guess you mean kilowatts.-- dunnhaupt 18:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I would like to suggest changing the name of this article from "Cathedral of Magdeburg" to "Magdeburg Cathedral".
My reasoning for this, the new name sounds more precise. The current name would in any case, NOT be used by someone who uses English as a first Language.
As an example: We don't say "Abbey of Westminster" or "Cathedral of Salisbury" but Westminster Abbey and Salisbury Cathedral.
I would appreciate your views on this subject.-- IsarSteve 21:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Sure, let's wait and see if anyone else (apart from us) "actually reads this bumpf". Regarding the "of" .....check out your link again, and you'll see that "of" is not part of the title!! Cathedral of Magdeburg At the top of the page it says in "blue" Magdeburg / Cathedral connected by an "of" in black, meaning two separate titles! See what I mean? This doesn't mean there is a title "Cathedral of Magdeburg"-- IsarSteve 10:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
My .... I can't believe all this idiocy... I just read you entry at another place and really can't believe you can be so.... Cathedral of Magdeburg is wrong, please expalin why we don't say Cathedral of Westminster but Westminster Cathedral ?? You've no answer for that one.. have you? Because es ist schlicht und einfach falsch!! -- IsarSteve 15:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Both "Magdeburg Cathedral" and "Cathedral of Magdeburg" are correct English, so that's not the question to ask. The question is, what is the mostly commonly used name in English? The Google test indicates "Cathedral of Magdeburg" is more common. On the other hand, Magdeburg's official website uses "Magdeburg Cathedral" on its English-language page. Aren't there more important things to worry about at Wikipedia? — An gr 15:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm very much relaxed thanks :o), I accept An gr's argument, even though HE IS an AMERICAN!! :o). BUT I'm still not happy with the title, because in my opinion it looks "Foreign" to English eyes. Once again I repeat, "Cathedral of Madgeburg" is totally correct when used with an article (THE is put in front of it). But as a name standing alone, "Magdeburg Cathedral" is the correct usage. -- IsarSteve 00:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
NOT the tallest towers in East Germany, according to the list Stralsund is taller. I corrected this.-- dunnhaupt ( talk) 15:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Do we have a picture of the statue of Saint Catherine? (There is a comment about it in the Magdeburg article and I'm curious about it). RJFJR ( talk) 17:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2007, and the new organ will hopefully be used for the first time in 2008.
And was it? Interesting article. Sca ( talk) 20:28, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Interesting article about a fascinating historic structure. One question: It says Otto was also able to complete the interior construction, and formally opened the dome in 1363.... Do we mean the English word "dome," or the German word Dom — which is the German term for cathedral — ?? Sca ( talk) 16:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I deleted The cathedral survived World War I without major damage because the only parts of then-Germany that suffered major damage in the First World War were certain towns in East Prussia and, possibly, Alsace. Sca ( talk)

The result of the proposal was move per request. In this case the web search disparity matches what is evidenced through Books, Scholar and News searches, indicating the target is the more common name, but for future reference Madcynic, that is not always the case and as is stated in multiple places, such results that concentrate reliable sources should be defaulted to before ever presenting the results of a web search (when search engine results are to be used).-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 11:10, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
Cathedral of Magdeburg → Magdeburg Cathedral – Once again, I propose to move this page to its common English name. A quick google search gives only about 30k hits for "Cathedral of Magdeburg", while "Magdeburg Cathedral" has almost 700k results. The new page name would be in line with other church articles, e.g. Westminster Abbey, Salisbury Cathedral. Madcynic ( talk) 09:23, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Please see /info/en/?search=File:HerscherpaarMagdeburgCathedral.jpg and note that it is not without question that this IS Otto I and his wife Eagdyth. WHAT is he holding? An orb? A plan-view of a nearly-circular walled city? Something like the breast-plate of the Israelite High Priest? 2604:2000:C682:B600:FC9C:4C2:2514:9A8F ( talk) 15:49, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Christopher L.

Hello, the text about "Domfelsen" ist not correct. Look the article in the german wikipedia. The complet Church stands on it, also the south tower, but it are some sediments (5 -10 meters thick) beetween the rock and the church. The Rock is ca. 10 meters unter the cathedral. The cathedral has not a direct contact to the rock. Geological drillings since 1993 found the rock more than 10 m under the church.
Look also the article in the german wikipedia about the eight new bells from 440 kg to 14 000 kg (the second largest bell in germany after the big bell in Cologne Cathedral), will be installed in the next years. The Schuke-Organ from 1970 will be restored in the next time. 32-Fuß-Freak ( talk) 16:44, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
