Another one of the medieval Jewish powerhouses along the river Rhine (Speyer<\/strong>, Worms<\/a>, Mainz), together named the SCHUM<\/em>-cities (Hebrew for garlic bulb<\/em>). It does resemble Worms a lot, with the Romanesque<\/strong> cathedral<\/strong> as its biggest feature. That’s not very Jewish, is not? Well Jewish traces (like mikvahs<\/em>) can also still be found in each of the three cities as the cultures did coexist in peace for a limited period in history.<\/p>\n

Lots of other churches<\/strong> – old and new – are spread throughout the city which is perfectly walkable. The Altp\u00f6rtel<\/strong> (old port<\/em> – a former city gate) offers a great view and should not be missed.<\/p>\n

The following pictures are from a restaurant in Heidelberg, not Speyer, but I couldn’t withhold these food pictures. It just looks so good!<\/p>\n
