The monastery and convent of St. Paulus, built from 1002 onwards, is located in the centre of Worms and is a place of peace and quiet in this lively city. The collegiate church was originally built as a three-nave Romanesque pillar basilica, and the stone dome helmets of the two pagan towers give the church its special appearance. Unlike other collegiate churches, the choir is closed on five sides in good late Romanesque forms. The west building has an octagonal dome (13th century) and is flanked by two older stone-covered round towers…

The access to the fountain path is hidden at the far end of this square. If you follow the narrow path to the left, the fountain path leads close to the narrow buildings along the Zuckerberg area. The origin of the name "Brunnenpfad" is unknown. Presumably it was a path the residents used to reach wells outside the fortified defensive walls. The so-called health fountain is also located at this circular route station. A staircase leads to the spring water, which gushes 4 meters below the surface, which used to be routed through a brick…
