Description

The origins of the Worm’s cathedral can be traced back to early Christian times during the late Roman era. The first Worms bishop (Berthulf, 614AD) came from the Franconian age although his cathedral was much smaller than that of today. Together with Mainz and Speyer, the three Romanesque imperial cathedrals on the north upper-Rhine form a globally unique location. For the town of Worms, the cathedral has been the dominating landmark for more than 1000 years.
