Comments

(en)

While the reverse design is commonly guessed to represent a city wall with towers, it is more likely to be an image of the Abbey church of St. Maurice in Magdeburg which was built in the mid-10th century at the behest of emperor Otto I, and was destroyed by fire in 1207. The current Magdeburg cathedral replaced it.
