Tour through the German town Worms. The city has a very rich history. It was once the capital of the Roman successor kingdom of the Burgundians in the early 5th century and it plays a role in the medieval epic poem 'Nibelungenlied' (The Song of the Nibelungs). It was at the Romanesque cathedral (one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Germany) where the reformer Martin Luther defended his views and writings in the face of Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521. The town has also had a large Jewish population through a long period of its history and just outside the medieval walls lies the oldest Jewish graveyard in Europe, the oldest graves dating to the eleventh century.
