The Frankfurt Cathedral, officially known as St. Bartholomew's Cathedral (Dom Sankt Bartholomäus), is a historical and religious landmark located in Frankfurt, Germany. This Gothic-style cathedral has a significant place in German history, particularly as the site where emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were crowned for centuries. Its towering spire, reaching a height of 95 meters, offers a panoramic view of Frankfurt and dominates the city's skyline. Not an actual cathedral in a technical ecclesiastical sense, it earned this colloquial title due to its historical importance and impressive architecture. The structure has undergone several renovations and reconstructions over its long history, particularly after being damaged during World War II. Inside, visitors can appreciate its high-vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and works of religious art, while the exterior's intricate stonework showcases the craftsmanship of its builders. The cathedral also serves as a museum and hosts various cultural events and concerts throughout the year.
