Eins von Wetzlars Wahrzeichen. Es gibt sicherlich größere, schönere, beeindruckendere Gebäude, die stehen aber nicht in Wetzlar. Es ist sehr interessant, die verschiedenen Bauepochen anzuschauen und sich mit der Geschichte dahinter zu beschäftigen. Die Akkustik ist gut, die Orgel klingt super. Der Dom ist eine Besichtigung absolut wert.

One of the cities landmark. There are certainly bigger, nicer, more impressive buildings that are not available but in Wetzlar. It is very interesting to look at the different construction periods, and to deal with the history behind it. The sound is good, the organ sounds great. The Cathedral is worth a visit.
