The building was constructed using red sandstone, a material typical of the region and seen in other major landmarks around the city.\n\nInside, visitors can see a range of historic artefacts, including the Baroque high altar and late Gothic choir stalls. Beneath the cathedral lies an archaeological garden displaying remnants of earlier structures, including a Carolingian chapel and Roman foundations.\n\nDuring World War II, the cathedral suffered extensive damage during air raids in 1943 and 1944. Reconstruction began shortly after the war and continued into the 1950s, with careful efforts made to preserve its original design and character.\n\nFrankfurt Cathedral is not only a religious site but a powerful symbol of the city’s historical role in European politics and its recovery from destruction.
