It has been more than 5000 years since the first farmers settled permanently at a Rhine ford near to present-day Speyer. Finds from the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages bear witness to this, long before any written sources appeared.

Speyer expands rapidly in the economic upswing of the 50s and 60s: new residential areas, industrial plants, schools and hospitals are built. Pedestrian precincts help to make the centre more attractive.

Since the 2000 year town’s anniversary in 1990 the touristic infrastructure has been continually expanding with the Technical Museum and Sea Life Aquarium, and together with the Historical Museum of the Palatinate, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to the cathedral town every year.
