Mauritius Monastery

The St. Mauritius Monastery, also known as the Moritz Monastery, was a Benedictine monastery in Magdeburg. It existed as a monastery from 937 until at least 963. As a building, it existed until around 1207, roughly where today’s Magdeburg Cathedral and Cathedral Square are located.
It was founded on September 21, 937, by the then 25-year-old King Otto I, thus on the eve of the respective feast day of the saint. The foundation document is now kept in the State Archive of Saxony-Anhalt. The monastery, which Otto also intended as a future family burial site, was endowed with rich gifts and many privileges from the very beginning. At the end of January 946, Otto's first wife Editha, a princess from the Kingdom of Wessex and granddaughter of Alfred the Great, found her final resting place in the monastery basilica. The sarcophagus, which is now located in the later cathedral, was not erected until around 1510 by Archbishop Ernst of Saxony. In 2008, archaeologists found a lead coffin within it containing mortal remains, which were determined after extensive examination to belong to Edgitha.
