About :
Charlemagne made the missionary base a bishop's seat in 804. In 989, Bishop Hildeward of Halberstadt (968-996) was granted the right to hold markets, mint coins and collect customs duties by King Otto III. He also received the blood and military ban, i.e. secular power in the Harz region and thus over the inhabitants of Halberstadt. In 1005, construction of the Church of Our Lady began. In 1179, Henry the Lion destroyed the town, cathedral and cathedral castle. In 1236, construction of the new cathedral began and was consecrated in 1491. In 1326, the town joined with Aschersleben and Quedlinburg to form the Halberstadt Three Towns League, which lasted for over 150 years until 1477. In 1387, Halberstadt joined the Hanseatic League. The first Protestant bishop of Halberstadt, Heinrich Julius, introduced Protestant doctrine to Halberstadt Cathedral in 1591. A mixed-denominational cathedral chapter then remained until the end of the Thirty Years' War. During the witch hunts, around 24 people were sentenced to death in witch trials. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halberstadt
