A Place Where Faith Becomes Visible

The Bamberg Cathedral tells of the long history of the early 11th century, of reconstruction, sacred forms of expression, and the veneration of the founders of the diocese, Heinrich and Kunigunde. The tour leads through rooms where stone, sculpture, and prayer speak to one another. The famous Bamberg Rider, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Mary altar by Veit Stoß shape the spiritual and artistic heritage of this place.

Cathedral Treasure and Cloister as Spiritual Milestones

Especially impressive are the valuable textiles and liturgical artifacts in the Diocesan Museum, including the Star Cloak of Emperor Heinrich II, the vestment of Pope Clemens II, and the large Ottonian cross. The Gothic Cloister, with its original sculptures, combines contemplation and art into a quiet but intense religious experience.
