He lived from 1218–1291AD. He was Count of Habsburg from 1240 and King of the Romans from 1273. This statue dates from 1843. Construction of the Dom of Spires started in 1030AD on the spot of a basilica. The cathedral was consecrated in 1061. It was enlarged in 1090–1106. It was severely damaged in 1689 during the Nine Years’ War but restored and changed in 1748–1772. In 1792 the cathedral was damaged again by the French troops. In 1846–1853 frescoes were added to the church, nowadays not greatly appreciated. A Neo-Romanesque westwork replaced the Baroque one from 1772 in 1858. The Cathedral holds a number of graves of German kings and emperors.
