Nor was there an influx of Norman ecclesiastics and workers as in England. Nevertheless, the cathedrals of Worms, Mainz, and Speyer, and the Church of the Apostles at Cologne, are among the typical vaulted edifices with consistent round-arch construction. Certain minor features set off the German Romanesque from other varieties - notably, plans with apses at both ends of the church and, on the exterior, a profusion of arcaded galleries and round or octagonal turrets.

Certain minor features distinguish German churches from other, they make them different.
Actually I don't think "set off" is quite the right expression. It means providing surroundings or features or buildings sfjacent to others which enhance their appearance.

For "sfjacent" read "adjacent".
