Ratgar-Basilika Fulda, Carolingian church in Fulda, Germany.
The Ratgar-Basilika extends 90 meters in length and reaches 21 meters in internal height, featuring a three-aisled column structure with apses at both ends.
Construction of the basilica occurred between 791 and 819 under Abbot Ratgar, who was later removed from his position due to complaints about his strict leadership.
The basilica contains two separate crypts, eastern and western, representing both oriental and occidental monastic traditions within its architectural design.
The building maintains its function as the cathedral church of the Diocese of Fulda, following its elevation to cathedral status in 1752.
Ibrahim ibn Yaqub, an envoy from Cordoba, documented in 973 that this basilica surpassed all other churches he encountered in size and wealth.
