- Siegfriedbrunnen - Assemble at Siegfriedsbrunnen, the fountain dedicated to the Nibelung Saga’s protagonist, and immerse yourself in the tale of Prince Siegfried. Explore the Cathedral of Saint Peter, a Romanesque basilica with a quartet of circular towers, dual grand domes, and choirs at both extremities. Enter to witness the ornate Baroque altar, crafted from gilded timber and marble. Wander the Heylshof Garden, the historic location of the Diet of Worms, the imperial tribunal that decreed Martin Luther’s exile in 1521. Encounter the „Lutherdenkmal“, the world’s preeminent Reformation memorial, adorned with nine sculptures and eight medallions depicting key Reformation personalities. In Worms’ pedestrian precinct, observe the Winzerbrunnen, a tribute to the city’s vintners. Worms has been a viticultural hub since the Roman era, thanks to the Rhine valley’s rich soil and temperate weather. During the medieval period, Worms, referred to as Warmaisa in medieval Hebrew, was a significant Jewish theological and scholarly hub. Spanning from Martins- to Judenpforte, the historic Jewish Quarter stands restored, with its quaint alleyways and charming dwellings. Visit the Rashi Synagogue, named for the esteemed Rabbi Rashi who studied there in the 11th century. Germany’s most ancient synagogue, established in 1175, was meticulously rebuilt post-World War II following its desecration on the Kristallnacht in 1938. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, Worms saw the construction of several edifices in the „Nibelungenstil“, a stylistic fusion of neo-romanesque and art nouveau. Notable examples include the water tower, the central station, and the Nibelungen Tower by the Rhine’s banks.
