But a favourite certificate, of all things? Hans Ammerich is beaming all over, as a colleague hands him the simple, brown box from the cabinet in the archives. He reveals the document and the atmosphere in the plain functional building of the Diocese of Speyer becomes almost ceremonial. The former director of the archives discovered a document by Louis the Bavarian (1282-1347) that contains the ruler\u2019s arrangements for the property of the so-called Stuhlbr\u00fcder brotherhood in Mutterstadt. With a smile, he deciphers the old, beautifully curved handwriting and examines the 700-year-old seal, which is still in a very good condition. \u201cThe devout men were here to pray for the spiritual welfare of the kings, emperors and empresses buried in the Cathedral,\u201d Hans explains. In return, they were allocated landed property to live on its profit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11939\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11939\" class=\"wp-image-11939 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-28-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Passionate about being a historian: Hans Ammerich.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>No doubt: the man is passionate about being a historian. His former work place, the archives of the Diocese of Speyer, is somewhat the Palatinate memory of the Catholic Church. Valuable parchment manuscripts are stored here, such as the \u2018Speyerer Missale\u2019 from 1343, parish registers and papal bulls as well as unpublished works, files and photographs. Hans was born in 1949 and managed the archives for 35 years. One of his research projects is the St. James pilgrims in the Palatinate. This subject had already been a trend subject when research into it began, some decades ago. It is a subject with an ongoing history, because some 300,000 people per year make a pilgrimage on the Way of St. James according to estimates by the pilgrims\u2019 office in Santiago de Compostela. However, this number represents only the pilgrims on the Spanish part of the track.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11917\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hans has always known that the Palatinate has ever since been part of the Way of St. James: \u201cThe routes for trade and for the armed forces were well developed in this cross-border region and they were relatively safe.\u201d Furthermore, the region has always offered castles, churches and monasteries one after another, which used to attract travellers seeking shelter, accommodation, food and spiritual places for contemplation and prayer. At the end of the 1990s, Hans started with his colleague Susanne Rie\u00df-Stumm to trace the old tracks upon the request of the politician Rainer Rund and the then bishop Anton Schlembach. It was certainly helpful that the then district president Rainer Rund had been the long-standing head of the Pf\u00e4lzerwald-Verein (Palatinate Forest club). Members of the club look after the tracks with their typical scallop shell markings. The scallop shell is the symbol for all St. James pilgrims and refers to the patron saint of all ramblers, James the Great.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, there weren\u2019t many sources for the courses of the track,\u201d says the historian. Are there any ancient pilgrims\u2019 reports from the Palatinate or concrete directions over the past centuries? Not at all. So the two historians began to reconstruct the routes according to criteria they made themselves: They researched lodging, hospitals and hospices, where it is evident that pilgrims were admitted. They kept an eye out for the slightest signs of the St. James cult, such as pieces of art, murals and statues in churches or monasteries and on buildings. And they sifted through the towns for street names that advert to pilgrims. The project \u2018Palatia Sacra\u2019 undertaken by the Gesellschaft f\u00fcr mittelrheinische Kirchengeschichte (society for the history of Christianity in the Middle Rhine region) was a good support for the two researchers. This project has researched the impact of churches and monasteries in the Palatinate\u2014from a Middle Ages perspective though. \u201cIt has helped us a great deal, because places that used to be hotspots of worship some centuries ago, may have become ruins or even forgotten today.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Speyer is the hub of the network of routes&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are two routes through the Palatinate today and they were the same back then: one in the north, along the towns of <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/where-europe-starts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neustadt<\/a>, Lambrecht, Erfenstein, <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/steam-in-the-palatine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elmstein<\/a>, Johanniskreuz and Landstuhl; and another one in the south, along the Haardtrand range with the towns of Germersheim, <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/the-mystery-of-herxheim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Herxheim<\/a>, M\u00f6rlheim, Leinsweiler, Klingenm\u00fcnster and Bad Bergzabern, Fischbach and Eppenbrunn. The two routes unite at the former Hornbach monastery. From there, the Way leads towards France. \u201cPilgrims from the Palatinate certainly took the old Roman road on the left of the Rhine from Mainz and Worms,\u201d Hans explains. And, no matter from which direction they approached the Palatinate, one thing is for certain: Speyer is the hub of the network of routes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11920\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-9-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hans came to the cathedral town in 1979, when he had just completed his apprenticeship as a historian and his work in the archives. He recalls the time: \u201cAt first, I worked on merging the manifold historic holdings of the Diocese.\u201d Hans is well-known beyond the boundaries of his region as an expert for Palatinate state, church, administrative and constitutional history and was honoured for his life\u2019s work by the public Bezirksverband Pfalz association in 2015. Sitting at his desk, he continues to write essays and books on a daily basis even today. \u201cThe Palatinate is an area that has witnessed radical changes caused by the wars,\u201d says Hans. This is an ongoing matter of interest for his work, which will practically never be finished\u2014\u2018the journey is the reward\u2019 also applies to a historian\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11949\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11949\" class=\"wp-image-11949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-38-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hans came to the cathedral town in 1979.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A few metres from the archives of the Diocese in Kleine Pfaffengasse road there is the Dom-Shop (cathedral shop) that sells scallop shells and pilgrims certificates. \u201cThe burial site of the emperors used to be an important place of pilgrimage with an alleged miraculous effect,\u201d Hans explains with a smile. Evidently, there used to be a St. James alter in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/modest-silence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cathedral<\/a> crypt until it was destroyed by the French. Pilgrims used to have very different motives for their long pilgrimages to Spain: \u201cSome went for atonement and penance, others to express their gratitude after a long illness. Some even went on behalf of another person,\u201d says Hans. They took a lot of risks on their journeys, as the many hospitals along the Way show. One of these hospitals used to be south of the cathedral: the so-called \u2018Deutschordensniederlassung\u2019 that admitted poor and sick people\u2014and pilgrims.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11953\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11953\" class=\"wp-image-11953 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-42-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close to the K\u00f6nigsplatz square a statue of St. Joyce from the year 1462 greets passers-by from above their heads.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the Historical Museum of the Palatinate, there is a preserved stump of a pilgrim\u2019s statue that probably originates from the medieval St. Jakobus church that must have been in what today is Heydenreichstra\u00dfe road, torn down at the beginning of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. And in the Speyer town archives you can find a seal by the Speyer Jakobsbruderschaft (St. James brotherhood).

A few metres from there, in Maximilianstra\u00dfe road, a larger-than-life pilgrim awaits visitors: \u201cBishop Anton Schlembach gave the figure as a present to Speyer for the town\u2019s bicentennial,\u201d says Hans.
