The celebration of the marriage anniversaries in Speyer is a significant tradition and does not only take place in the Diocese of Speyer. Similar events are also planned in the diocese of Augsburg, such as the days of marriage anniversaries from August 1 to 3, 2025 in the basilica St. Ulrich and Afra and in the Kolpinghaus in Augsburg. These celebrations are a nice opportunity for spouses to celebrate their longstanding connection and to celebrate their love in the community of like -minded people.

It should be emphasized that the celebrations in Speyer, as in Augsburg, have the opportunity to conclude new acquaintances. At the traditional wedding waltz on the cathedral square at the end of the celebrations, the couples are given the opportunity to share their joy with others. When standing after the individual blessing, spouses can also exchange their experiences and memories.

Such occasions not only strengthen the community among the spouses, but also promote awareness of the importance of marriage and partnership today. Bishop Dr. Karl-Heinz Wiesemann emphasizes the importance of such celebrations in order to give the spouses a voice in their connection and to honor their love.
