Dom zu Worms

Reviewed By 476jael - Long Island, United States

Dom Zu Worms (St Peter's Cathedral) with magnificent Romanesque building with soaring twin towers has impressive historical significance. One of the historical event associated with this cathedral is The Diet of Worms in 1521 presided over by Holy Roman Empire’s Emperor Charles V. In the Heylshof Garden behind the cathedral, Martin Luther stood in front of the emperor, refusing to recant his doctrine imbedded in his “99 Theses” that he had posted on the door of Wittenberg Castle Church. During our stay in Frankfurt last September, we took a train excursion to Worms to visit the magnificent Luther Monument in Heylshof Park, Dom Zu Worms, and a Luther Memorial on the spot in Heylshof Garden behind this cathedral where he stood in front of Emperor Charles V. After slightly over 1 hour train ride and 8 minute walk from Worms Hbf, we arrived at Martin Luther Monument in Heylshof Park. After admiring the monument, we visited Luther memorial with the bronze replicas of his shoes while he stood facing Emperor Charles V in Heylshof Garden. After viewing the moving memorial with Luther Shoes, we walked around to enter this cathedral. Just like its magnificent exterior, the cathedral’s nave and interior décor were magnificent and beautiful!! This cathederal a must visit landmark along with Luther Monument and Luther Memorial.

Luther Monument

Reviewed By 476jael - Long Island, United States

During our stay in Frankfurt, we took an excursion to Worms, the historically significant city for Reformation. After slightly over 1 hour train ride and 8 minute walk from Worms Hbf, we arrived at Martin Luther Monument in Heylshof Park. Surrounding the tall bronze Luther Statue on the pedestal were bronze statues of important Reformation figures, including Johann Hus, John Wiclef, Frederick the Wise, and Philip the Magnanimous. The pedestal had inscriptions of scenes from Luther’s life, the Wittenberg Castle Church posting of his thesis, and his bible translation, etc. The monument was a great testament to the Reformation Movement and Martin Luther along with other important contributors to the movement. After admiring the monument, we walked to nearby Stiftung Kunsthaus Heylshof (Foundation of Art Heylshof) building. Upon entering the gate of the walled fence, we immediately turned left without entering the building itself and walked on the path leading to the rear garden of the building. From the garden, we walked to 1~2 O’clock direction where another Luther monument was located. This small monument was where Luther faced Emperor Charles V during the Diet of 1521, and refused to recant his doctrine. A bronz monument with a plaque and a bronze pair of Luther shoes was very moving. The bronze shoes were large enough for us to slip our feet into them without taking off our shoes. This allowed us to experience literally being “in Luther’s Shoes”!!
