About
Quick facts: The cathedral houses a 97-meter tall tower that can be climbed to see the city from above. Inside the cathedral is one of the oldest organs in Germany, whose sound reaches far into the surroundings.
Highlights: The choir stalls from the 14th century are adorned with delicate carvings depicting stories from the Bible. A special experience is the crypt, where historic tombs immerse you directly into medieval history.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the tower climb can be exhausting.
- Arrive early to avoid the crowds and take better photos.
- Don't miss the crypt, often less visited than the main area.
- In summer, the stained glass windows are best seen from outside when the sun is shining.
