You're standing at Frankfurt Cathedral, officially the Kaiserdom Sankt Bartholomäus, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. It's the largest religious building in the city. And here's the funny thing: it has never actually been a cathedral. No bishop has ever had his seat here. It owes the title Dom to its role in the history of the Empire.
