Speyer, near Neusstadt Weinstrasse

Speyer is a town not too far from where I am staying in the Pfalz. It is a strong Catholic centre with The Dom having been built back in medieval times (I think)!

When a new Archbishop was appointed to Speyer the large stone cauldron was filled with wine and the towns' folk could drink from it.

The Dom had a strong connection to the Koenig (kings) of the region, hence the crown.
