In the year 1030, the construction of the Speyer Cathedral began. In 1041, the crypt was consecrated, and in 1063 the cathedral itself was complete and consecrated. Almost a thousand years have passed since then, and the building has undergone violent destructions and been subjected to the wear and tear of time. The cathedral chapter, a council of clerics from the diocese, is first and foremost responsible for the cathedral and its preservation.

In order to preserve the cathedral for future generations, we are dependent on your help.

Your support can be given directly to us or passed on through one of our funding institutions: the Cathedral Building Society or the European Foundation for the Speyer Imperial Cathedral.
