Volkmarskeller

]]>The Volkmarskeller (Volkmar's Cellar) is said to be a natural karst cave. It was probably used in prehistoric times, as evidenced by finds made in the surrounding area. The first documented mention of the cave dates back to 956CE. In this document, Otto I donated a chapel dedicated to Saint Michael above the cave to the Quedlinburg Abbey, near Blankenburg. According to legend, a hermit is said to have lived in this cave in the 9th century, and there were probably other such inhabitants up until the 12th century. For example, the cave's namesake, "Volkmar," is said to have lived there around 950. His disciples then joined the Cistercians, and the cave was used as a cave church.
