Answer 2

Martin Luther defended his theses during a trial in Worms. Protestant reformers refer to the "Diet of Worms."

Worms was also one of the three places of Jewish Talmudic studies before the Holocaust. Mainz and Speyer, along with Worms, made up a triad of Jewish studies, had gorgeous synagogues, and many rabbis from all over Europe.

Penguin is also right. In the Nibelungenlied ("The Lay of the Nibelungen" in English) Kriemhild and the "Burgundians" are from the kingdom of Worms. But Xanten (lower Rhine) and Hungary play just a big a role in that epic.
