English summary: In the period around 1500, the treasures of Wurzburg Cathedral included a rich collection of relics. The development of an equally magnificent liturgy was an important task undertaken in the Baroque and Rococo periods. Even though numerous objects were lost through war and secularization, the remaining pieces indicate both the broad range of relics as well as the manner of displaying precious objects the 18th century. This art-guide explains the issues surrounding the collection and display of the cathedrals treasures from a scholarly perspective. This guide offers a scholarly introduction to the history of treasury and newly prepared pictures of the most important objects. German description: Der Domschatz umfasste in der Zeit um 1500 einen reichen Reliquienbestand, das Heiltum. Im Barock und Rokoko war vor allem die Entfaltung einer prachtvollen Liturgie wichtig. Auch wenn zahlreiche Objekte durch Kriege sowie die Sakularisation verlorengingen, zeigen die erhaltenen Stucke sowohl das breite Spektrum an Reliquien als auch die Prachtentfaltung des 18. Jahrhunderts. Der Kunstfuhrer erlautert sie auf wissenschaftlicher Basis. – Erste fundierte wissenschaftliche Einfuhrung in die Geschichte des Heiltums – Neu erstellte Aufnahmen der bedeutendsten Objekte
