„When the medieval separating wall in the cathedral finally fell on 12 September 1863, the interior of the cathedral presented itself in its entirety for the first time. In the centuries before, this monumental wall had closed off the cathedral choir, which was consecrated in 1322, to the west and thus also considerably determined its spatial impression. In addition, the furnishings of the choir with its altars, chairs, murals, tombs and the large organ were subject to constant change in accordance with the stylistic preferences of the time.“ (see publication)
