Hildesheim Reliquary of Mary The Hildesheim Reliquary of Mary (German: "Heiligtum Unserer Lieben Frau"; "Lipsanothek") is a historic and artistically unique reliquary in the Dommuseum in Hildesheim. Tradition and legend claims it contained the relic which Emperor Louis the Pious and his party left in the woods or were unable to loosen from a rosebush, as a result of which the Cathedral and diocese are meant to have been established at Hildesheim and dedicated to Mary in 815. Thus, to this day, the reliquary embodies the historical identity and continuity of the diocese. At the ordination of enthronement of a new bishop of Hildesheim, it is presented to them as a special symbol of their solemn reception of the diocese from their predecessor or the Diocesan administrator.

Henry the Fowler Henry the Fowler (German: "Heinrich der Finkler" or "Heinrich der Vogler "; Latin: "Henricus Auceps" ) (876 – 2 July 936) was the duke of Saxony from 912 and the elected king of East Francia (Germany) from 919 until his death in 936. As the first non-Frankish king, he established the Ottonian Dynasty of kings and emperors, he is generally considered to be the founder and first king of the medieval German state, known until then as East Francia. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king. By his death in July 936 Henry had prevented collapse of royal power, as had happened in West Francia, and left a much stronger kingdom to his successor Otto I. Henry died on 2 July 936 in his royal palace in Memleben, one of his favourite places. He was buried at Quedlinburg Abbey, established by his wife Matilda in his honor.
