	Speyer. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Speyer is a noted cultural and historical center of the Rhine plain.
		Speyer, together with the territory of the bishops of Speyer W of the Rhine, was occupied by the French during the French Revolutionary Wars and formally ceded to France by the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797).
		Speyer and the episcopal lands W of the Rhine were subsequently given to Bavaria at the Congress of Vienna (1815); they were incorporated into the Rhenish Palatinate, of which Speyer was the capital until 1945.

	Speyer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Since early medieval times the areas surrounding the city of Speyer on both sides of the Rhine were governed as a Bishopric (Church State) within the Holy Roman Empire.
		The Prince-Bishop's residence and the Speyer cathedral were destroyed in 1689 during the French invasion of the Pfalz.
		In 1793 the portion of the Bishopric on the west side of the Rhine was annexed to France and in 1803 the portion on the east side of the river was secularized and ceded to Baden ending the history of the Bishopric.

	The Cnh or Notitia Dignitatum: Speyer
		Speyer (Noviomagus then civitas Nemetum and Spira) probably had a bishopric around the middle of the 4thC, but the town was sacked by invaders in the 5thC and the bishopric was not restored until the early 7thC.
		In 1294 Speyer became an independent or free imperial city when its bishop had to renounce most of his earlier rights over the city in favour of an elected town council and, from that time, the bishop could not enter the city without council permission.
		The cathedral chapter (Domkapitel, capitulum) at Speyer was an ecclesiastical corporate body of approximately 30 canons, or clergy ordained for religious duties in the church, whose primary purpose was to assist the bishop and to govern the diocese jointly with him.

	anti-Church leaflets distributed
		The leaflet ran into heavy criticism from the local clergy: it was said that for years the "Bund fuer Geistesfreiheit" apparently saw its main mission as moving Christians to leave the church "with a mixture of false information and half-truths," said Reverend Hans-Peter Jung of the Protestant church and the Catholic clergyman Gerhard Matt.
		The sect and weltanschauung commissioner of Speyer bishopric, Christoph Bussen, believes the nationwide operation by the bfg to be a "form of radical atheism" which placed "polemics in front of factual discussion." He said leaflets have been appearing off an on in Ludwigshafen and vicinity in the past.
		The truth was that Speyer bishopric and the Evangelical Church of Pfalz expended 25 percent of the church tax income for social purposes and services.
