It was perhaps the last big hour in the life of the grand statesman from the Palatinate: Helmut Kohl, with his own, somewhat touching, at any rate grand admiration for the grand German history, collected the grand tattoo in front of the Speyer Cathedral in 1998 for his farewell to statesmanly offices and dignities. The spectacle could of course also have taken place in Worms, about 35 km further north. The cities are not dissimilar and have a similar importance for German history. What makes the two contemplative cities in the Upper Rhine Plain so significant?
Together with Mainz, Worms and Speyer are the cities of the three Romanesque imperial cathedrals on the Rhine. The St. Mary's Cathedral in Speyer is the world's largest surviving Romanesque church and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Worms Cathedral, built between 1130 and 1181, is smaller and about one hundred years younger than the cathedrals in Speyer and Mainz. It is connected with the nomination of Leo IX as pope in 1048, the Worms Concordat in 1122, with which the investiture dispute was concluded; with the wedding of Emperor Frederick II to Isabella of England in 1235 and with the Imperial Diet of Worms in 1521, during which Martin Luther had to answer to Emperor Charles V, which resulted in the break-up of the occidental church. Worms is therefore also regarded as an important Luther city. Already in the 9th century Worms became the winter residence of Charlemagne; in this time also imperial Diets of the Frankish Empire took place there. In 1076 King Henry IV in Worms declared Pope Gregory VII deposed, which resulted in the Walk to Canossa. Worms also plays an outstanding role in the Nibelung saga and is therefore regarded as the Nibelung city par excellence, as many names, buildings, museums and festivals in Worms remind us.
In the Middle Ages Speyer was a free imperial city and one of the most important cities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The construction of the cathedral of Speyer was already arranged around 1025 by the Salian king and later emperor Konrad II with the aim to build the largest church of the occident. In its gravesite are buried inter alia Konrad II and his wife Gisela of Swabia, Henry III, Henry IV and his wife Bertha of Savoy, Henry V, Beatrix of Burgundy, the second wife of Frederick Barbarossa, and her daughter Agnes as well as Philip of Swabia, the son of Frederick Barbarossa, Rudolf of Habsburg and Adolf of Nassau. Speyer became the centre of German history in the 16th century, when more than 50 Court Days, 5 Imperial Diets and several Imperial Deputation Days, Electoral Diets and Imperial Moderation Days took place there. At the Imperial Diet in 1529 the Protestant princes protested against the imposition of the imperial ban on Martin Luther, from which the term Protestantism developed.
Worms and Speyer emerged from Celtic settlements, which served as military bases for the troops arriving here in Roman times. The settlement Borbetomagus grew out of Worms in the postaugustean period in the 1st century, while the town of Noviomagus emerged in Speyer around 150 A.D. Today Worms competes with Augsburg, Trier and Kempten for the title of the oldest city in Germany.
Both Worms and Speyer, with their immediate location on the Rhine, are characterised by the history, tradition and legends of the great German river. Worms is assigned to the two planning regions Rheinpfalz and Rheinhessen-Nahe, Speyer is part of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region with Ludwigshafen, Mannheim and Heidelberg as its centre. In the west, the German Wine Route and the Palatinate Forest border both cities.
Speyer and Worms look back together on a long and eventful history and have maintained friendly and cooperative relations since 1208 (!).
