A treasure of monuments that brings Bamberg's history to life
The guided tour Action - Living - Educating in the House of Benedict takes place on September 13, 2026, in a house that palpably conveys the construction and usage history of Bamberg like hardly any other. In the historic residential and commercial building at Austraße 29, rooms open up that tell the story from the medieval origin to the baroque redesign and today's museum use.
Between vaulted cellar, commerce, and baroque splendor
The House of Benedict is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site in the Bamberg Old Town and has been made accessible again in its original character as a museum since 1995. The view spans from the vaulted cellar with its historical traces to the baroque-style living spaces and the exhibition areas on several levels. Particularly impressive are the stucco ceilings by Johann Jakob Vogel in the garden hall and festival hall, which make the transition from a commercial to a representative residential house visible.
A walk through the layers of city history
The guided tour links architecture, local history, and cultural heritage into a dense discovery experience. Those who walk through the house encounter renovations after the fire of 1584, the baroque redesign around 1710, later uses as a trading house and bakery, as well as the museum concept of Manfred Bumiller, who acquired and restored the property in 1992. The result is a small city tour: a house as a mirror of everyday life, representation, and knowledge tradition.
