@mschaup Haben Sie eine Rekonstruktion des Ursprungs?
Ich fand bloß die Gegenüberstellung interessant. Das ist schließlich eine recht große Veränderung.
Deutsch

@GerCathAes Wie mag der Altarraum zur Zeit nach der Erbauung und Weihe des Domes wohl ausgesehen haben?
Am Ende auch nicht so wie auf dem Foto aus den 1920ger Jahren. Am Ende kommt die heutige Gestaltung dem Ursprungsaussehen etwas nahe?

Another Romanesque Imperial Cathedral from the 11th century is the Mainz Cathedral.
In the Eastern Crypt the Sudarium is kept.

The Speyer Cathedral dates back to the 11th century. It is one of three Imperial Cathedrals from the Holy Roman Empire. Pius XI declared the Church to be a Basilica minor in 1925. Today it is the biggest Church built in the Romanesque era. Altar today and in the 1920s.

@Dr_Engelbert So true. These high altars are really ruining the church.

@AngelikaMe47171 Ich habe alle drei von der deutschsprachigen Wikipediaseite über die Kathedrale.

@GerCathAes Wo haben Sie dieses wunderbare Foto gefunden? 😍. Ich lebe in der Diözese Speyer.

@Ordo_Militaris I'm well aware of the typical direction towards the east.
I think I misunderstood what you meant.
But I did learn something. Thank you!
English

@GerCathAes And thus those high altars are flat with nothing obstructing the view from the apex of the nave, that is the point opposite the porticos. At Speyer, the side of the Church closest to the river.
English

@GerCathAes the Cathedral's porticoes face just north of west, so the High Altar faces just south of east. This explains the architecture of the altar.

English

@Ordo_Militaris Here you can see the directions but I don't know what was placed behind the high altar.

English

@GerCathAes So in the old presbytery, they actually erected a back to the high altar. Was there a canonry or choir stalls behind the high altar? And in which direction is the axis from the high altar to the main portico?
English

@whyanyways This is a common phenomenon in many German Cathedrals after the second Vatican Council.
I don't know why people would do this though.
English

@GerCathAes why did they change it? where is the cross? the altar? everything looks empty
English

Le han quitado todo el alma al interior. Que cosa tan fría y sin unción

@GM20198114 Obviously. The high altars are deeply
missed.

@_Plac3_hold3r Yes. On All Saints, Visitation, Mary Assumption and Mary Nativity

@KarlHammer732 Klingt gut. Mal sehen ob ich dabei sein kann.
Deutsch

@GerCathAes Man kann auch später einsteigen, wenn man nur das WE frei hat. Das letzte Stück ist sogar eine Familienwallfahrt. (Das Schrittempo ist allerdings recht flott).
Deutsch

@KarlHammer732 Würde ja gerne dahin, aber das liegt zeitlich leider recht unpassend.

@GerCathAes Vom 10.-13. September ist es wieder soweit: Die Petrusbruderschaft veranstaltet die Wander-Wallfahrt nach Kevelaer im traditionellen Ritus.

@burkhard_mail @PoznanProject Richtig. Deshalb ist Vierzehnhdiligen auch heute die älteste

@GerCathAes @PoznanProject Damals war es noch Hagenau im Elsaß.

@FreeIrishman7 @cathconclave Its a recent development in the post-conciliar area. But it is obviously a lot worse here than in other countries
English

@GerCathAes @cathconclave This church is much to beautiful for German theology
