A Place with Sacred History

The Bamberg Cathedral is linked to the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde and was founded in the early 11th century. After fires, a new building was constructed between 1200 and 1237, whose clear design language still impresses today. Here, theology, imperial history, and lived spirituality meet in an impressive manner.

Artworks of European Significance

Highlights include the Bamberg Horseman, the sculptures of the Cathedral, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Marian altar by Veit Stoß. In the Cathedral treasury and the diocesan museum, visitors encounter precious textiles, liturgical devices, and artworks that continue to shape the religious experience of the place today.

Cloister, Cathedral Treasury, and Diocesan Museum

The Gothic cloister opens the way to the diocesan museum, which continues the tradition of the old cathedral treasury. There, the Christian message, the faith history of the Diocese of Bamberg, and the beauty of medieval and modern art are intertwined. Especially impressive are the Star Mantle from the 11th century, the vestments of Pope Clement II, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross.
