Article of the Month Otto III was a member of the Ottonian dynasty. He was the Roman-German king from A.D. 983 and Holy Roman Emperor from 996 to 1002. He was elected as the German king when he was only three years old. During his minority the empire was managed by the empresses, Theophanu and Adelaide of Italy. During his reign the focus of the royal and imperial rule shifted to Italy and was characterised by very individual decisions. For example, Otto appointed his own candidates to the papacy in opposition to the rebellious Roman nobility: his trusted cousin, Bruno of Carinthia, as Pope Gregory V and Gerbert of Aurillac as Pope Sylvester II. In Poland, a church organization independent of the kingdom was established. Otto had to flee in 1001 after a revolt by Rome. His attempt at reconquest failed owing to his untimely death. His body was buried in Aachen. ↪ more Geography Mountains: Harz - Brocken - List of mountains and hills in Saxony-Anhalt - List of mountains in the Harz Rivers: Aland - Aller - Bode - Dosse - Eine - Elbe - Hassel - Havel - Helme - Holtemme - Ilse - Jeetzel - Luppbode - Mulde - Ohre - Rappbode - Saale - Salzwedel Dumme - Schlenze - Schwarze Elster - Tanger - Unstrut - Weisse Elster - Wipper - Wustrow Dumme - Zillierbach Important cities and towns: Magdeburg - Aschersleben - Bernburg (Saale) - Bitterfeld-Wolfen - Blankenburg (Harz) - Burg - Calbe (Saale) - Dessau-Roßlau - Eisleben - Freyburg (Unstrut) - Gardelegen - Genthin - Gernrode - Halberstadt - Haldensleben - Halle (Saale) - Havelberg - Hettstedt - Jessen (Elster) - Kalbe (Milde) - Klötze - Köthen (Anhalt) - Leuna - Merseburg - Naumburg (Saale) - Oebisfelde - Oschersleben (Bode) - Quedlinburg - Salzwedel - Sangerhausen - Schönebeck (Elbe) - Staßfurt - Stendal - Tangerhütte - Tangermünde - Thale - Weißenfels - Wernigerode - Wittenberg - Zeitz - Zerbst/Anhalt Regions: Altmark - Harz - Saale-Unstrut Region Landscapes: Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm - Eastphalia - Fläming - Geisel valley - Harz Foreland - Magdeburg Börde Districts and independent towns: Anhalt-Bitterfeld - Altmarkkreis Salzwedel - Börde - Burgenlandkreis - Dessau-Roßlau - Harz - Halle (Saale) - Jerichower Land - Magdeburg - Mansfeld-Südharz - Saalekreis - Salzlandkreis - Stendal - Wittenberg History History: Nebra sky disc - Thietmar of Merseburg - Eike von Repgow - Province of Saxony - Anhalt - Province of Halle - Province of Magdeburg - Albert the Bear - Cardinal Albert - Reformation - Ascania - Fruitbearing Society Historic people: Henry the Fowler - Otto I - Otto II - Otto III - Margrave of Gero - Leopold III Frederick Franz - Louis I, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen - Samuel Hahnemann - Otto von Guericke World Heritage Sites: Castle and Old Town of Quedlinburg - Luther sites in Eisleben and Wittenberg - Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm - Bauhaus Dessau Transport, Tourism and Media Transport: America Line - Magdeburg Water Bridge - Mittelland Canal - Elbe-Havel Canal - Elbe - Havel - Leipzig/Halle Airport Tourism: Romanesque Road - Arendsee - Via Regia Media: MDR - Sputnik Personlities Art: Lucas Cranach - Wassily Kandinsky - Paul Klee Philosophy: Friedrich Schleiermacher - Christian Thomasius - Christian Wolff - Philipp Melanchthon Pedagogy: Johann Bernhard Basedow - August Hermann Francke Literature: Clemens Brentano - Gottfried August Bürger - Johann Gleim - Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock - Carl Immermann - Wilhelm Müller - Novalis.
