A church in the oldest city in Germany? It must be pretty old too. And sure enough, it is.
The cathdral is the oldest church in Germany. The first church was built on this spot in the 300s. Constantine the Great, a Roman Emperor, ordered its construction. Every so often it got knocked down, more or less. They tried again in the 1000s, although it took until 1196 to finish it that time. There have been a series of additions and renovations since then.
We did not go inside, choosing instead to take a photo around noon with the light giving the front of the building an odd look. You get the idea.
