The Speyer "Brezelbu" has served as the tourist association's mascot for more than 50 years. Speyer residents know him well: the beaming fellow with the hat on his always slightly messy hair and a half-eaten pretzel in his hand.
For the 2023 Pretzel Festival, six pedestrian crossing lights along the route of the Pretzel Festival parade in Speyer have been retrofitted.

Furthermore, the pretzel boy can still be found in stone at the cathedral portal from the 19th century.

The "pretzel traffic light" is a great thing.
