The Roman Catholic imperial cathedral of St Bartholomew in Frankfurt am Main, the largest sacred building in the city, is the former election and coronation church of the Roman-German emperors and as such an important monument in the history of the empire. It was regarded as a symbol of national unity, especially in the 19th century. The cathedral was a collegiate church from 852 to 1803, but never a cathedral in the canonical sense of an episcopal church. Today's cathedral is the fourth church on the same site. Predecessor buildings excavated since the late 19th century can be traced back to the 7th century. The early Carolingian chapel of the Königspfalz Frankfurt was the site of the Synod of Frankfurt in 794 and is closely linked to the history of Frankfurt and its historic centre. The first royal election in Frankfurt took place in 855 in the Salvatorkirche, which was consecrated in 852.
