Whoever looks at my writings from time to time might know that bookstores do have some magic attraction to me – I just cannot pass without entering (and usually leave with a big pile of books, but that’s off-topic here, lol).
Being used to antique German opening hours (i.e. shops are closed on Sunday), I stood in front of this bookstore with open mouth and for a while couldn’t believe what I saw. But, I wasn’t hallucinating – this bookstore is open on Sundays !
It is small but has a very big selection of local and regional books on nearly all subjects (in fact the biggest selection of local books I ever saw): regional food, hiking and biking in the region, wine, Jakobsweg (camino de Santiago), books about the Cathedral, history, postcards, maps, local storeis – you name it !
They also had (have now in Feb 2007) a selection of books and kids toys about pirates, following the actual exhibition in the Historical Museum of the Palatine. That’s, as they also have a branch office in the museum (or better: they are the bookstore of the museum shop).
Buch Oelbermann has several branch offices in Speyer and surroundings, check their website for the other ones.
What To Buy: I bought two books about Speyer (see photos) for 14,80 € resp. 12 € and a map with all recreation and otherwise interesting spots for 2,95 €.
Very much to my (moving) surprise they also had THE book I did have at school (photo 3) and without that, well…. without that I wouldn’t be able to type on the keyboard or read pages here, haha.
What To Pay: The prices of special books are very much fair (not as overpriced as in many other towns), maybe the print run is higher.

Fascinating page on this gorgous city. Loved it all - so ornate and lovely. The museum hides real treasures, but this Roman wine is just too much - what a waste!:) Interesting story of the statues of the Salian kings. A great page! | scottishvisitor Wed Jan 21, 2009 20:51 UTC
So many new things to see and do :) Your pictures with the summer blooms around the buildings are lovely :( What a pity I can't get to a Christmas Market for a few years yet! | tiabunna Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:02 UTC
You have added considerably to this page since my previous visit - and I don't have time to finish now. But this is a page to savour, not to rush: excellent photos and dense with information. | Zvrlj Sat Jan 10, 2009 16:52 UTC
Beautiful city. Reminded me a bit on Gdansk. Funny but we have never heard about Anselm Feuerbach, until now. And, it is so very obvious that you love Speyer :-) |
