The Cathedral as a Place of History and Prayer
Bamberg Cathedral was founded in the early 11th century by the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde and was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. The clear form language of the architecture, the vast spaces, and the sacred presence shape the tour and provide insight into a developed Christian memory culture.
