City Walk Bamberg around 1900 – Past Meets Present
Experience a city tour as an adventure: With a guide and digital tablets, you compare historical photographs with today's views and dive deep into the local history of Bamberg around 1900. Architectural details, everyday stories, and hidden places make the UNESCO World Heritage City sensually tangible.
Interactive City Tour with Tablet
On the route through the island and hill city, historical images appear exactly where they were once taken. You zoom into motifs, change perspectives, and discover fine details. Two people share a tablet, the devices are provided free of charge. The group size is intentionally limited to 14 participants – so there is time for thorough observation and questions.
Tangible History
The tour highlights the transformation of the city around 1900: from tram traffic to fashion and horse-drawn carriages to urban development. Exclusive panoramic views open up glimpses into interiors that are partially not publicly accessible today. This brings cultural heritage to life and makes it comprehensible.
UNESCO World Heritage in Focus
Bamberg's old town with the Cathedral Hill, Old Town Hall, and Little Venice is considered a unique urban ensemble. The walk connects these sites with well-founded backgrounds, places them within architectural and cultural historical contexts, and shows how careful monument preservation creates identity.
Thoughtfully Organized
The meeting point is in front of the Tourist Information at Geyerswörthstraße. There you start centrally, easily accessible, and with clear orientation. The tablets are prepared, and the guide leads in a structured and audience-friendly manner.
