Domberg, Summit in Erfurt, Germany.

Domberg is an elevated area at the heart of Erfurt that holds several major churches and historic buildings. The space is defined by religious structures and paved squares that connect through narrow lanes.

The Marienkirche on the Domberg is first documented in a charter of 1117. Records also attest an older Paulskloster and a castle of the Archbishop of Mainz on or beside the hill. In the 14th century, supporting structures (Kavaten) were built for the cathedral's high choir to enlarge the natural rise. The hill soon lost its military role to the neighbouring Petersberg citadel.

The hill was earlier called Unterberg, and the name Domberg refers to the cathedral that, with the Severikirche, forms a six-tower ensemble above the Domplatz. The Gloriosa bell, cast in the 15th century, hangs in the cathedral and is among the world's largest free-swinging bells. Documents also record an older Paulskloster and a castle of the Archbishop of Mainz on or by the hill.

The location is freely accessible and can be visited at any time of day, with many buildings open for interior exploration. It is advisable to wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain is cobblestone and slopes steeply in places.

The Gloriosa bell, cast in the 15th century and hanging in the cathedral, is among the largest free-swinging bells in the world. The hill itself is the last spur of the Alacher Heights, and 70 Domstufen lead up from the Domplatz to the cathedral.
