The Speyer Cathedral, officially the Imperial Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and St Stephen, in Speyer, Germany, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Speyer and is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Bamberg.
The cathedral, which is dedicated to St. Mary, patron saint of Speyer (Patrona Spirensis) and St. Stephen is generally known as Kaiserdom zu Speyer (Imperial Cathedral of Speyer).
Pope Pius XI raised Speyer Cathedral to the rank of a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church in 1925.
Begun in 1030 under Konrad II, with the east end and high vault of 1090-1103, the imposing triple-aisled vaulted basilica of red sandstone is the culmination of a design which was extremely influential in the subsequent development of Romanesque architecture during the 11th and 12th centuries.
As the burial site for Salian, Staufer and Habsburg emperors and kings the cathedral is regarded as a symbol of imperial power.
With the Abbey of Cluny in ruins, it remains the largest Romanesque church.
It is considered to be a turning point in European architecture, one of the most important architectural monuments of its time and one of the finest Romanesque monuments.
In 1981, the cathedral was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List of culturally important sites as a major monument of Romanesque art in the German Empire.
Originally, the cathedral was surrounded by numerous buildings.
To the south it was adjoined by a cloister with a sculpture of The Mount of Olives in its centre.
On the northern side was the palatial bishop's residence.
Other buildings nearby, for example, were the chapter house, rectory, archives, St. Nikolaus Chapel, town fortifications etc.
Most of the buildings disappeared after the French Revolution.
The outline of the former cloister can be seen as pavement.
The sculpture of The Mount of Olives was destroyed in the great fire of 1689 and left in ruins after the rubble of the cloister was removed in 1820 in order to create some open space.
Later it was fitted with a roof to prevent further deterioration.
The sculptures were supplemented by the Speyer sculptor, Gottfried Renn.
In the square at the western end of the cathedral is a large bowl known as Domnapf.
It formerly marked the boundary between the episcopal and municipal territories.
