In 1012 the first Cathedral was consecrated, though it later burned down. The next construction began in 1237-at the rise of the Gothic period from the Romantic-and gave the Cathedral her present character. Some of the most important attractions inside the Cathedral are; the "Bamberger Reiter" (1230), the grave of Emperor Heinrich II (past away 1025) and his wife Kunigunde von Tilman Rieman-schneider; the altar of Mary from Veit Stoß (1523); the grave of Bishop Friedrich von Hohenlohe; and the grave of Pope Clemens II.</font></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><br> <font size="2"><a href="fr-index.html">Picture 1</a> | <a href="fr-index2.html">Picture 2</a> | <a href="fr-index3.html">Picture 3</a> | Picture 4 | <a href="fr-index5.html">Picture 5</a> | <a href="fr-index6.html">Picture 6</a> | <a href="fr-index7.html">Picture 7</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <font size="2"> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="760"> <tr> <td> <font size="2">© 1999-2003 <a href="http://www.hotel-rhein-weinproben.com">www.hotel-rhein-weinproben.com</a> <a href="http://www.hotel-germany-rhine.com">www.hotel-germany-rhine.com</a> <a href="http://www.bacharach-germany.net">www.bacharach-germany.net</a> <a href="http://www.european-vacation.net">www.european-vacation.net</a> <br> Alle Rechte vorbehalten.  Alle Angaben ohne Gewähr.
