    Imperial Cathedral of St. Peter in Worms

    The origins of Worms Cathedral go back to the beginning of the Christian era at the end of the Roman era. The first bishop was appointed in 614.
    Worms Cathedral, located on the highest point of Worms town centre, is the most important building of Worms Romanesque art and is closely linked to the name of Bishop Burchards and the high point of Worms town history in the 12th and 13th centuries.
    It has an appearance of robustness and architectural authority, while the impression produced by the interior is one of great dignity and simplicity, underlined by the natural red colour of the sandstone used for its construction.
    Major events relating to the cathedral include the election of Pope Leo IX, a native of Alsace, in 1048; the Worms Concordat in 1122, which ended the dispute over the investiture; the Reichstag zu Worms (1521), during which Martin Luther had to answer to Emperor Charles V, which led to a rupture in the western church.
    The cathedral was built between 1130 and 1181, with the demolition of a former Romanesque basilica from the first quarter of the 9th century.
