Travelog post for: Coco Presley

Today I visited Worms which is one of the oldest cities of Germany. It started as a Celtic settlement and was then conquered by the Romans. Its cathedral was built in the 12th century. In 1521, Martin Luther was declared an outlaw by the Edict of Worms. The city is also home of the Nibelungen Saga. Worms had a large Jewish community and the Jewish Cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe. However, during Reichskristallnacht in 1938, most of the Jewish quarter was destroyed and nowadays there's only a small Jewish population living in the city. Worms is situated at the river Rhine in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Unfortunately Mum had forgotten to recharge her camera's battery before we left so we could only take a couple of photos


The Martin Luther/Reformation Memorial


The Cathedral


It's a Memorial behind me and it has something to do with the Nibelungen Saga but I can't recall the details.

Elvisly yours,
