Imperial Coronations
Between 1562 and 1792, ten Holy Roman Emperors were crowned in Frankfurt Cathedral, solidifying its role as a central site for imperial power.
True Name
Despite being commonly known as Frankfurt Cathedral, its official name is the Imperial Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew (Kaiserdom St. Bartholomäus), named after one of the twelve apostles.
Towering Height
The cathedral's impressive Gothic tower stands 95 meters (312 feet) tall, and visitors can climb its 328 steps for a panoramic view of Frankfurt.
Twice Reborn
The cathedral has been severely damaged and meticulously rebuilt twice: first after a major fire in 1867, and again after the Allied bombings of World War II.
