Fährmann Hol Über Sculptures
Highlight • Monument
With the sculpture group "Fährmann hol 'über" by the Speyer artist Georg Günther Zeuner, the Speyer Tourist Association made a contribution to the city's 2000th anniversary. The almost two meter high bronze sculpture of the emperor and the ferryman was erected in 1987 in the cathedral garden, in the bed of a former arm of the Rhine and directly in the shadow of the cathedral. There they remind of the old legend according to which the deceased emperors came to the aid of the empire.

Postgalerie Speyer (former Main Post Office, 1901)
Highlight • Historical Site
From 1816 to de facto 1940, de jure 1943, the Palatinate was part of Bavaria as the eighth Bavarian district. The Bavarian government lavishly equipped its new capital of the Palatinate with representative buildings that still shape the face of the city today, such as almost all of the buildings on the Domplatz.
The General Post Office, built in 1900-1901, cost almost 1 million gold marks and was one of the most important buildings within this construction program for the newly acquired territory of the Palatinate for Bavaria.
According to the files, the planner of the building was Anton Geyer, building officer at the Land Planning Office. Construction was managed by building inspector Otto Baer. The building authority and its architects aimed to incorporate architectural elements from the history of construction in their buildings, a style known as historicism that was prevalent at the time.

Sonnenbrücke over the Speyerbach
Highlight • Bridge
Source (quoted verbatim): historischer-verein-speyer.de/?p=977
It is also one of the last bridges on the Speyerbach before it flows into the Rhine. The Speyerbach has its source in the small town of Elmstein-Speyerbrunn in the heart of the Palatinate Forest.
