The German word ‚Dombauhütte‘ means ‚cathedral building lodge‘, which is responsible for the coordination of the construction of the cathedral. It’s not only a guild of masons, it contained also all carpenters, bricklayers, smiths and glaziers. The cathedral building lodge is existing even after the construction of the cathedral has been finalized: the continuous maintenance of such a complex building will provide work forever.
