Der Pilger (The Pilgrim; known until 1960 as Der christliche Pilger, meaning The Christian Pilgrim[1]) is the weekly newsletter of the Roman Catholic diocese of Speyer in Germany. It was founded on 1 January 1848, making it the oldest diocesan newspaper in Germany and older than the Osservatore Romano. The paper founded the『Die Aktion Silbermöve』fundraising campaign in 1960 and this produces around 1 million Euros annually.
The paper reports on church life in the diocese and international events in the Catholic Church, along with comment on news and political events from a Catholic perspective. It also includes religious texts such as prayers and interpretations of the week's scripture readings. The entertainment section offers book and theatre reviews, short stories, puzzles and recipes.
