1208


Bonensack
architect.
April 20, 1207, a large part of the cathedral of Magdeburg, Germany, was destroyed by fire. The bishop, Albert II, a man of great culture and ability, began in 1208 the reconstruction of his church in the pointed style which was then replacing the round-arched or Romanesque style. The architect employed was one Bonensack, who is represented in a little figure which serves as a bracket supporting a three-quarters column in the nave of the church. His work is probably confined to the choir.
