Brotherhood of the Mudzborgh apologizes for Bardowick's destruction!

Bardowick is haunted by the shadows of the past! On Saturday morning, six gentlemen moved into the Bardowick Cathedral on their coats in white robes with red crosses. The Mudzborgh brotherhood had come to apologize for the destruction, which broke out 835 years ago under the order of Heinrich the Löwen via Bardowick.

"On October 28, 1189, Heinrich the Lion devastated the city and only left churches and chapels," said Brother Willy Kuschmierz. The Bardowickers will never forget this shocking episode in history! The brotherhood, founded by the Duke, took it to bring a piece directly from the story to Bardowick and to ask for forgiveness. "We are here to apologize for this crime!" Cushmierz called in the historic church in a moving voice. Accompanied by his brothers, they symbolized their serious regret with a solemn pilgrim candle that now shines in the cathedral.

Historical entanglements and legends

Bardowick's destruction is undeniable, but the stories about these events are often mythically overlaid. Brother Rainer Wolf reveals that the city was not ready to give him refuge while Heinrich's escape into exile. Instead, there was a bizarre protest by the citizens, which demonstratively showed the duke's back on how it is told in the controversial legend of the "Bardowick buttocks".

The brotherhood, which was formed under Heinrich's patronage in the 12th century, has committed itself to the values ​​of human dignity, freedom of expression and the preservation of traditional values. "Please accept our apology," Wolf pleaded the audience. Your visit to the cathedral, blessed by Pope Francis in 2015, is an impressive testimony to the changed times and the pursuit of reconciliation!
