The church combines Late Romanesque and Early Gothic elements, with the oldest parts dating from 1042. It has choirs at both ends of the nave, with the mid-13th-century west choir the most interesting. Here are 12 lifesize stone statues of the benefactors, who donated the funds for the construction of the cathedral. The statues were crafted in the 13th century by an unknown artist and are considered some of the best examples of art from that period. The best known are the statues of Margrave Ekkehard and his wife Uta. However, do not overlook the statue of Reglindis (right), the wife of Margrave Hermann; her smile has been described as the most beautiful of the Middle Ages.
