Quedlinburg is a town in the Harz Mountains, of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

 Henry the Fowler was the Duke of Saxony from 912 and the King of East Francia from 919 until his death in 936. He established the Ottonian dynasty of kings and emperors, and is generally considered to be the founder of the medieval German state. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king.

===========
(in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, in central Germany) The city of Quedlinburg is found on the Bode River, in the northern foothills of the Lower Harz Mountains, southwest of Magdeburg. Founded in 922 as a fortress by Henry I (the Fowler), it became a favorite residence of the Saxon emperors, and in 968 Otto I founded an imperial abbey there, which was secularized in 1803. A member of the Hanseatic League until 1477, the city then came under the protection of the electors of Saxony until it passed to Brandenburg in 1698. The city's medieval walls towers, and churches have made Quedlinburg a tourist destination. The city is dominated by its 16th-century castle (now a museum) on the site of the old fortress, and by the former abbey church of St. Servatius (with remains of a 10th-century church). The church, castle, and Old Town were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994.
