unspectacular to non-specialists push for the researchers the remains contain a wealth of information about the period known as the romanesque. us. the world of that time was the result of a remarkable historical development until the 4th century christians had been subject to bloody persecution but then came a revolutionary turn of events one that led bishop eusebius of caesarians to eulogize the roman imperial power that had previously threatened him he wrote the emperor came among us christians like a heavenly angel of god he was referring to the roman emperor constantine constantine had suddenly decriminalise. christian worship and for christians he was an emissary from heaven and the patron of the church.

from then on churches became callouses the pantheon in rome was a temple in which the ancient romans had worshipped their gods this don't structure became the model for the buildings erected to honor the christian god and his earthly representative the emperor. and the eastern roman empire the byzantine empire the hunch a sophia in constantinople became the largest church in christendom. 10000 laborers built the giant basilica adorned with the magnificence that the imperial court saw as its due 5 centuries after jesus died on the cross the christian church had become a highly political body. the imperial splendor of the southeastern reaches of the crumbling roman empire stands in sharp contrast to the more modest style in the northwest there from the start of the 9th century charles the 1st king

of the franks ruled as successor to the roman emperors. charles later called charles the great or charlemagne built a church in auckland as a sign of his sovereignty. and he also copied the ancient symbols of the former roman empire. the palatine chapel in aachen is a domed building like the hug of sophia in byzantium. in the year 800 when the newly crowned emperor charlemagne climbed the steps to his throne it was an important advance for churches in the west. list in the name of irish as if you are the tapes charles permitted much chlorella

reached from verdian in the north to coeur in the south and far into the eastern territories. the man who so inner jeddah glee advanced minds his influence around the turn of the millennium was buried here in st stephen's church built on the highest hill in the city. the mortal remains of archbishop villegas have lain here to this day. villegas sought to underscore the superiority of the diocese of mines for that he developed an ambitious architectural plan at the. the end of the 10th century.
7:24 am
the idea was to replace the old wooden cathedral with one made of stone much larger than the mighty abbey built by the monks of russian whole island in my constance. it was to be a pole a shield church with a painted wood paneled ceiling the walls were to be painted too with scenes from the bible. people of the time rarely saw pictures and villegas was convinced that the church would make a lasting impression on the faithful and lead them to god. and he was also convinced that his cathedral would reinforce the importance of his diocese he would be the man to crown kings the son of
7:25 am
a wheelwright villegas had surpassed his humble origins to become regent of the empire and the pope's vicar. his personal ensign and we'll found its way into the coat of arms of minds religious as plan to acquire coronation rights seemed to be on track his cathedral was to shine like the heavenly jerusalem. in the year 1009 the moment had arrived for the largest building north of the alps to be consecrated. but then disaster struck on the day of its consecration villegas his church went up in flames. really is resigned and asked. leaders aspired to be the 1st among the bishops and archbishops of the kingdom of the east bronx in germany and he reinforced that by building an imposing cathedral or. a stone structure demonstrated the archbishop's
7:26 am
rank and he wanted to highlight that and. it was particularly tragic that the cathedral building immediately burned down just as it was being consecrated for the value you drop and i believe that essential a forecast the burden that would place on future archbishops did after all a diocese without a functioning cathedral was unthinkable its i'd forgotten the day. the circus that the archaeologists opened in st john's church in mines is closed again the body inside was left to rest in peace the lid of the coffin vacuumed clean. only microscopic samples were taken to glean definitive information about the dead man's identity. among the material is this golden thread. it is part of an edge ng made of real gold that was lying

close to the head of the corpse mathias high and so is a conservator and a specialist in metal alloys using a reflected light microscope he studies the structure and folding of the gold alloy and measures it with micro meter precision. a comparison with other finds suggests that the thread was part of a gold edging of a chelsea will of bishops liturgical vestment the dead man dressed in the garment was undoubtedly a cleric probably a bishop. but the sample taken from the area of his left upper arm is even more conclusive. it's a fragment of a larger piece of fabric to which are attached to small pieces of edging made of
7:28 am
dark silk. despite the decomposition of the material even now 1000 years later the microscope reveals that it is of animal origin. and that it's got class here we clearly see the scale a structure like overlapping roof tiles of the epidermis layer that i miss fished and in the middle we can still see a bit of them a dull or a canal mark on our aunts and these 2 properties and the kate clearly that this is war of violet in. wool that suggest a garment called a pallium this one band is seen in the illustration since the early middle ages it's a kind of stole that even the pope wears and that today is still conferred on his

7:30 am
his 1st cathedral and that archbishop aircon bought the successor of villa guess was laid to rest here presumably because the new cathedral was still under construction following the devastating fire. it seems that out of respect for the old church the new site had been chosen not exactly here but right close by the archbishop's prestige project was a building intended to make minds a 2nd to rome a central point of the empire where the monarchs would be crowned. the east tellers were already standing in aircon boats lifetime and he himself may have walked this way in the southeastern tower however it would not have been this high back then the towers weren't raised to their current proud height of 55 meters
7:31 am
until much later. despite all the reconstruction over the centuries the interior of mines cathedral still exudes the spirit of the romanesque the solemn darkness and the massive angular stone work that flaunts its solidity. it's hard to imagine how impressive these stone spaces must have seemed to the people of the middle ages who were used to small houses made of wood and mud. with his prestige project religious had kicked off a contest a challenge not only to his great rival the archbishop of cologne but also to the
7:32 am
powerful rulers who were to be reminded by such palatial churches that god and his representatives stood above them. the 14th century tomb of the influential archbishop page of fun aspect shows how even 3 centuries later the clerics saw their relationship to crowned rulers the greatest is he with the right to crown and anoint kings. anointment is described in the book of exodus in the old testament. the sacred annoying thing or oil was a means of consecrating priests and prophets. in western europe anointment gradually became customary at the coronation of monarchs. the oil
7:33 am
represents the transfer and legitimate of political power for the ruler. the. the he would thus be ruler by. by the grace of god as implemented by the church and yet in dependence upon it. did this ritual not imply the subordination of the monarch what would happen if the bishop or the pope withheld the annoyed meant. suppose the cleric did not speak the words and go take in reagan i anoint the king. would that king or emperor still be accepted by his subjects.
7:34 am
he doesn't because the annoyed mint with sacred oil made the king the anointed of god christos domini and that gave him a dominant position literally voted but it also made him dependent on the one who had anointed how it could be the bishop or in the case of the anointment to be emperor it was the pope in rome or do you have a few before and this is them function well until there is a dispute over rank between the worldly and the cliche as to call powers call. the dispute over rank between church and state was already smoldering in the 1st century of the new millennium 80 kilometers up the rhine the city of rome as was experiencing friction between the ruling salient dynasty and the new bishop. immediately after his investiture he had begun planning
7:35 am
a cathedral on the highest point in the town vorm stew was to boast an imposing building that like a castle would highlight the supremacy of the church. the idea was also to rebuild the town in the shadow of the new cathedral. the new bishop for heart was the right man for the job. it was an associate of the dynamic archbishop of mine's religious with similar determination he set out to underscore the head germany of the church. or cart was a talented organizer and as the town administrator favored by villegas he immediately set to work. as bush could see here calmness in the towers when version arrived here in the year 1000 he intended to show that he was the lord of this town as its bishop and he did everything he could include ing activating his connections at the imperial court decide to get the salience to give
7:36 am
up their property in volumes of food to give up their castle and livan involves to fight off more than a day in a symbolic act as he raised the salience fortress and set up a monastery st paul's church and to demonstrate i am the sole ruler here it's been stuck here. to this day the building retains its 11th century contours although only a few foundation stones from bush church are still standing the unique specimens of romanesque sculpture the rare animal depictions all date from the 12th century that's because just 2 years after its hasty construction and consecration in 1018 bush hearts representational palace collapsed. and by the time the new church with its late romanesque colonnade was completed 160
7:37 am
years later or shards ideal of the head gemini of the church had long been called into question the new epoch had been born it was as if the architects had already sensed how the coming period the gothic would bring a new wealth of forms and color to life. the citizens had begun to view this space as their own they had here it more to their kings than their bishops and the dispelled salience had already started a competing project next door inch by at. st christopher the carrier of christ the side of whom was believed to prevent sudden death now looked down on changed conditions. to have managed as best as. assailants had the bad luck to be driven out of the hereditary seat and was all the soup that quickly ordered the construction of
7:38 am
a new diocesan church the cathedral of st mary and. the building that arose in shire under the salience was truly an imperial cathedral no other medieval cathedral on the rhine was such a symbol of imperial power as st mary's cathedral inch by. looming over the river like a castle it was a high point of imperial architecture a sign carved in red sandstone of a dynastic lane. and shire itself before the salience settled there it had been referred to is by cina or cowtown but with the cathedral it underwent rapid urban expansion to become an imperial metropolis. forced out of forms and deprived of much political influence due conrad was anointed king of germany 2 decades later
7:39 am
and ultimately holy roman emperor. a 1000 fields once the staff dissolved young 1020 for the election of the 1st salient king conrad the 2nd became possible because the last new doffing ruler henry the 2nd had died without a man who lives in for. that's what conrad was a descendant of auto the great authors and this metra lineal descent was very important for the salient sense of their significance and they saw themselves in a long imperial tradition and. conrad was laid to rest in 1039 wearing a crown with the inscription sower of peace and benefactor of the city. his time as emperor coincides with the high point of medieval imperial rule the conflicts between the emperors and the pope's are only just beginning to simmer.
7:40 am
and the cathedral which he had built as a worthy burial site for himself and his successors was only just started. today hedvig does i think is the master builder of the world heritage site that conrad had planned as his imposing muscly i'm perhaps too imposing when he died not even the outer walls were complete. the topic that i missed out on and that the tragedy was that conrad was not able to experience his vision to close the case it is obviously in the sea had the idea of building the largest church in the western world of the because he died before it was complacent he was basically buried in an unfinished construction site of a combo honest. that was something new in the medieval contest of the cathedrals and emperor who built
7:41 am
a gigantic burial place for himself and his dynasty one that could compete with the cathedrals of minds and forms. wait it was a symbol in stone of the emperor's self image one that may have grown in force due to the family's bitter experience in volumes but the ambitious plan initially remained in the building face. the cathedrals columned crypt the largest of its time was completed by the time of conrad's death it testifies to his optimism about the future. mankind does it is a busy one not you could describe it like this he had this vision and the hot the faith the hope that he would be able to make it succeed. and that this idea would be adopted by others that he could kindle the idea in them as him it is a kind in 1061 the salience prestige building was consecrated
7:42 am
in all its romanesque lawry. which just 20 years later came a surprise the new salient emperor and read the 4th ordered most of the new cathedral to be demolished. he wanted it to be even larger and more imposing and above all more sophisticated in its design . what i listed for to have this list fair and not and high list everything changed and then written for the tiger to storm us up that he tore down large parts of the cathedral and rebuilt it in another shape because of and no one we can see the biggest change here in the apps which changed from having a straight end to a semi circular one in good. to carry out
7:43 am
the transepts were taken down all the way to the stone work and changed in a depth by a restructuring of the facade that end out. or didn't and the spires will raise the mist at. his in this is the old only romanesque part of the tower and under henry the full force it got its rise will meet at school. after a few one storm after the crossing tower was also changed although what we see sedate is the baroque era to. exactly the same christie is a later addition to the main change in the interior is the vaulting of the center nave obvious wish to be above variable and middle shifts amount of an hour we believe that in the early romanesque building the ceiling was flat like a business to. the central neighbors 40 meters wide with the height of
7:44 am
a 33 meters up to the vaulted ceiling and those are very very big dimensions just fine i wasn't of what immediately catches the eye from outside is the change to the insertion of a dwarf gallery which wasn't there originally after all inflation got changes the appearance of the outer wall that was typical of the romanesque with windows recessed into walls it's a fair and not the revolutionary thing about this building is the way it's character radiated outward time just a photo. henry the 4th really wanted to build the biggest church in the western world and and here he succeeded i'd say. in 1106 the romanesque marvel was completed. it's hard to imagine a more imposing building a vaulted ceiling of this size had not been seen in the west since antiquity for 1000 years. and in terms of size spire
7:45 am
cathedral did not have to fear the competition certainly not from forms and not even from minds. and while villegas his work in mines his dark and early romanesque in style henry's cathedral was more numinous. as if it were quietly anticipating the gothic period. the historical museum of the nate has a model of the head of henry the 4th made by a forensic scientist based on the original find of his skull and perhaps we can
7:46 am
read the tragedy of henry's life from his face it was a life marked by strife the pope excommunicated him his sons rebelled against him and the year his cathedral was consecrated was also the year of his death. unleashed a foot to keizer decades into added sue ones on our forefathers like you henry the 4th was an emperor who reigned in thought entirely in the tradition of his ancestors he viewed as monarchy as god given and inherited from his father's house initially and that made him very unprepared for an ethical conflict which broke out in the 2nd half of the 11th century and which suddenly called the authority of the king into question him. the king was viewed by the church reformers as a layman no longer as one anointed by god the goddess. and that developed into a fundamental conflict around the question of which was to take precedence on earth the power of the church or the secular power. it does or conflict this conflict
7:47 am
erupted in the so-called investiture controversy which was about much more than the investiture of bishops of would be felt was about the question of who needed whom the of the who had precedence over who and who had to obey caution was how little for division he henry the 4th didn't want to obey that was his tragedy but also his pride as a came. for and he expressed this pride above all in the rebuilding of schreier cathedral. there was an outstanding architectural achievement leading to the largest church in western kristen time at the time because it is outside through that. in fact the cathedral fulfilled the function for which it had or regionally been intended. to be a tomb for the salience in the summer of 1900 historians excavated the floor of the church and opened the more than 800 year old coffins. it was an investigation
7:48 am
intended to boost the historical significance of the new german empire under kaiser vilhelm the 2nd and to inform the public about the great deeds of his predecessors . featuring large in this history was the 1st salient emperor conrad who had started building the largest romanesque church his remains and those of his family including his wife gisela described as a woman of beauty and intelligence were now to be carefully studied the historical investigation describes henry the 4th as a man of impeccable form he was described as handsome full of masculine strength and almost feminine. grace. a special find was the golden sapphire ring on henry's right ring finger it was a bishop's ring perhaps the final defiant message from an emperor who believed he
7:49 am
possessed the sole authority to invest bishops with ring and staff. henry's burial crown was carefully restored at the historical museum of the platen 8. it was the symbol of power of an emperor who was viewed by his supporters as anointed by god by his opponents as the embodiment of evil and who throughout his life insisted that his crown was conferred upon him directly by god without the intercession of the church. his cathedral dedicated to mary the mother of god represented for him the divine affirmation of say the you who rule set in stone surpassing any papal claims and it seems to have provided him with a foothold for his own personal faith. he must have
7:50 am
been deeply shaken when the bishop of his cathedral made him turn over the imperial insignia to his disloyal son. old chronicles show him surrounded by his bishops and his 2 sons in apparent harmony but that account is an example of medieval propaganda. both sons had rebelled against their father and the suppose it harmonious handover of power to his youngest son was in fact an act of great violence. dispute is an affiliate foot cell in the hockey sky and this picture is a complete distortion of reality throughout the gig in reality against the divine order the sun rose up against the father i cannot phone could flick dylan out it was a generational conflict that was relatively rare in the history behind middle ages but which forced all their contemporaries to take sides in this conflict between
7:51 am
father and son between the old and the new order and annoying sega of us logic and of the winner as in all such generational conflicts as was the song and he actually tried to rethink and rescue this alien monarchy and the fact that he ended up exercising power just like his father did is the particular tragedy of henry the 5th and it marks the gradual end of the salient period in the german empire in the doesn't have high demise. the times were changing in volumes as well and it was here that the last salient emperor played an early part in bringing about a new social order. alongside the clergy a new group was growing in society one which had not been reckoned with the middle class its growing economic power soon was something neither the emperors nor the church could ignore. the vorm city archive has a 12th century document an example of charters that were being issued more and more
