Choir of the Magdalena Church

the winged altar from the 15th century

In the church there is a winged altar, presumably made in Carinthia , from the end of the 15th century. The altar is on loan from the Thuringian Museum in Eisenach . After its restoration, it was consecrated in 2005 by Bishop Joachim Wanke .

The font was made around 1600. The Way of the Cross is a copy of the cycle made around 1920 in Antwerp's Cathedral of Our Lady .

The choir windows show scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene , the patron saint of the church.
