Ancient German Buildings

The entry into Goslar is reminiscent of Nuremberg; for
one comes at once upon a huge, round fortress tower
guarding the approach. But instead of lingering here,
one hastens to the farther end of town to see the build
ing that is the very raison d'etre of Goslar, says a writer
in the Century.
Goslar came into the world because 1t lay on the fringe
Of the Harz forests and at the foot OF the silver-yield1ng
Rammelsberg, both Of which were owned by the ninth
century emperors Of the holy Roman empire. There
they put up a succession of hunting lodges and small
palaces until Emperor Henry III. built the Kaiserhaus,
which is to-day the Oldest secular building in Germany.
Here Henry Nv. began his ~illstarred life. His preference
for living at Goslar, and the number of castles he built
in the neighborhood, reused the fears of the Saxon no
bles, who tried to assassinate him one evening at the
Kaiserhaus. And this was the opening scene of the dra-
ma that eliminated at Canossa, when, barefooted. the
emperor waited three days in the snow before Pope
Gregorys portal.
The last holy Roman emperor in these spacious halls
was Barbarossa. After him the noble building gradually
fell into ruin until the coming of the new empire, when
it was restored in a rather hard. Prussian style, and re-
ceived into it's halls the second great German leader,
William /. Now, in bronze, the pair sit their war horses
one on each side of the main flight of steps-Barbarossa
and Barablanca, as the people call them.
The main hall is decorated with frescoes Of the Sleep
ing Beauty and the Barbarossa legends, and with scenes
from local and, imperial history. Its principal attraction
Is the old Kaiserstuhl, seat of a long line of emperors.

In the chapel of st. Ulrich lies
buried the heart of Henry III. 1t lay
formerly in the famous cathedral
which Henry built near his palace,
and which was torn down in 1919.
This piece of vanished glory pos
sessed an extraordinary collection OF
treasures and relics. Tt made moth
ing of the bones Of such saints as
Nicholas, Lawrence, Cyril and Diony-
sius, for there were also important
remains Of the apostles themselves.
There was half of the Apostle Phil
ip, an arm of Bartholomew, and one
of James; a hand, arm and the head
Of Matthew, and a great part OF the
bodies of Peter and Paul. There
were also many other wonders.
Many of these valuables were stol-
en- in the sack Of Goslar in 1906, and
more during the Swedish occupation
In the Thirty Years war. Others
were sold to keep up the cathedral
during the hard times brought on by
the reformation, SO that the only
remnant of the building and its
treasures to-day is a part Of one tran
sept near the Kaiserhaus, with some
interesting statues, some Of the old
est stained glass In existence, and
an early Romanesque reliquarium
borne by still earlier brazen figures
Of the four rivers of paradise, as old
as the city itself. From this one

In his imperial robes, swept down
the broad steps Of the Kaiserhaus,
heading a brilliant train Of prelates,
princes, knights and many a band OF
pilgrims, who had come from every
part of the empire to bow at this
famous shrine. And after the last
