St. Martin's Church in Worms was the collegiate church of St. Martin's Abbey, whose buildings have almost completely disappeared. The foundation of St. Martin's Abbey dates back to the 10th century, the heyday of the city under Bishop Burchard. In the course of the great destruction of the city by the French in 1689, the Romanesque church suffered considerable damage. The visitor's entrance is somewhat hidden in the inner courtyard, which can be reached from the side of Ludwigsplatz. The Mediterranean green courtyard between the collegiate building and the church with its gently splashing fountain is a small urban oasis. Anyone who lingers here can take a pleasantly cool break away from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in summer. Translated with
