Its large tower chiselled red sandstone is in flamboyant Gothic style; inside, many altars have remarkable sculptures or paintings, such as the Maria-Schlaf-Altar of the th century. In addition to its architectural importance, the cathedral has a considerable place in German history: election place of the German emperors under the 1356 Golden Bubble, and the coronation from 1562 to 1792.
