Worms and the Nibelungen are inextricably linked. Siegfried, Kriemhild and all the protagonists of the Nibelungen saga are good friends for us Wormsers. But during your visit you will find that there are many other reasons to explore the Nibelungenstadt.
Romanesque Worms
St. Peter's Cathedral, together with the cathedrals in Mainz and Speyer, is one of the greatest creations of Romanesque church architecture. The Municipal Museum in the Andreasstift with its Romanesque cloister offers an impressive environment for the urban and cultural history exhibits on display there. The origins of Worms Cathedral go back to the early Christian era in late Roman times. The first bishop of Worms (Berthulf, 614) has come down to us from the Franconian period; his cathedral was considerably smaller than today's.
The Worms of the Nibelungen
Worms and the Nibelungen are inextricably intertwined. Most of the scenes in the "Nibelungenlied", which was written in the Middle Ages, take place in and around Worms. The protagonists of the heroic epic were always a present part of the city's history. Here, in the "Nibelungenstadt", they have their visible home. Enjoy captivating impressions on the path between your own fantasy and reality, for example at the authentic places on the "Nibelungenweg".
The Worms of the Reformation and the Reichstag
Worms belongs to the select group of Luther cities, because it was here that the courageous reformer acknowledged his writings before the emperor and the empire in 1521 and did not retract them. As the host of important imperial and princely days, Worms is distinguished not least by the large reform Reichstag of 1495 under Maximilian I.
The “Jewish Worms”
The “Holy Sand” between the inner and outer city walls has served as a burial place for Jews since the 11th century and is therefore considered the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in Europe. The founding of the Worms synagogue also dates back to the 11th century. Next to the synagogue is the Rashi House, which was rebuilt on the foundations of the former Jewish community's medieval dance house; It serves as a Jewish museum and is considered the "memory of the city" thanks to the collections of the city archives stored there.
