Understand
Step into history in Worms, one of the oldest cities in Germany (second only to Trier). This city has witnessed pivotal moments in German history. Founded by Charlemagne and with a bishopric dating back to the fourth century, Worms is a treasure trove of historical significance. One of its most notable events was the Diet of Worms, where Martin Luther was called by Emperor Charles V in 1521. Luther, refusing to recant his beliefs, stood his ground and famously declared, "Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen." As a result, he was banished to the outskirts of the empire. Explore the remnants of the old city walls, such as the Torturmplatz and the Karolingerstrasse. Don't miss the Dom of St. Peter and St. Paul, a stunning cathedral completed in 1325 and miraculously preserved through World War II. Worms also has a rich Jewish history worth exploring. Make sure to stop by the Tourist Information Center at Am Neumarkt 14 to pick up a map of the city's main attractions. They can provide you with valuable insights and insider recommendations.
