Before our ascent up Regensburg Dom (Cathedral) we were welcomed at the Stone Masons Lodge and the Dom Archives by the Master Mason and the Architect of the Dom. The skill of the carvers never ceases to amaze me. The German masons have a strong tradition of apprenticeship and German Journeymen, known for their skill, can also be found working at York Minster.
