Worms - Cathedral
Worms, one of the oldest towns in Germany, was an early bishopric in the valley of the Rhine river and an important palatinate of Charlemagne, who built a palace here.
Burchard of Worms, bishop since 1000, had the older carolingian church dismantled and started the construction of the cathedral, dedicated to St Peter. In 1018 this church got consecrated - the first time.
In 1122 the Concordat of Worms was signed here, ending the Investiture Controversy. In 1521 the Diet of Worms, a general assembly of the estates of the Holy Roman Empire, took place here, presided by Emperor Charles V. Martin Luther said the sentence "Here I stand. I can do no other. May God help me" here. After that he was declared an outlaw.
Parts of the basilica collapsed and got rebuilt. The most parts of the cathedral seen today was constructed between 1125 and the end of that century. The church has two choirs (east and west) and is 110 meters long. During the Nine Years' War, the french troops tried to blew up the building, but failed.
The façade of western choir is clearly influenced by architectural ideas from Burgundy, probably from Cluny. So all around the choir are lots of carvings showing strange creatures making grimaces to the people on the ground - and small men in anger and in danger.
Two small men in a brawl. They have each other by the beards - and so are "beardpullers". Actually this theme was very popular within the 12th century, especially in Burgundy and the Auvergne. I am sure about the beards, that is easy. I am not sure what they are holding or pulling with the other hands.
