St. Bartholomaus Cathedral

Frankfurt Cathedral was constructed in the 14th and 15th centuries on the foundation of an earlier church from the Merovingian time. It is the main church of Frankfurt. From 1356 onwards, kings of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this church, and from 1562 to 1792, emperors were crowned here.
Since the 18th century, Saint Bartholomeus' has been called "the cathedral" by the people, although it has never been a bishop's seat.
This historical religious site was originally built in 1235 as a parish church. In 1356, it was decreed that all of the German emperors were to be elected here. Because of this decree, church received cathedral status. The cathedral suffered through two major destructions. It had to be rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1867 and again after World War II. To look at the reconstruction of the cathedral after the World War, you will notice that the only parts of the original church that survived the bombings are the frieze of St. Bartholemew, the choir stalls and the Maria-Schlaf altar. Everything else was reconstructed. Some of the treasures of the cathedral are being held in the museums throughout Frankfurt.
