Description: This is the Plan of Cathedral at Worms. It is an example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Germany. The scale is in feet. Construction was started in 1000 AD and continued until 1025 AD. In Germany and Italy up until this point in architecture open timber roofing or flat ceilings were being used, however this problem was &qout;solved in Germany, as well as in Italy, [with the] vaulting over the nave, and the cathedrals of Spires, Worms and Mainz are the three most important churches in which this was accomplished,&qout;
