Speyer is one of Germany's oldest cities located beside the river Rhine. 

Card shows Speyer Cathedral (Kaiserdom zu Speyer). It was founded by Conrad II in 1030 and renovated in the late 11th century. With the Abbey of Cluny in ruins, the Speyer Cathedral remains the largest Romanesque church. In 1981, the cathedral was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List of culturally important sites.
