On November 18, 2026, a family-friendly city tour will take you to the original filming locations of the first Sams film in Bamberg. Between historic alleys, medieval architecture, and famous film locations, a cheerful discovery experience emerges for children, adults, and film fans.
Film History at Authentic Filming Locations
The cheeky Sams, Bruno Taschenbier, and the imaginative world of Paul Maar come to life during the tour. At the filming locations, participants learn about the background of the film production and discover how Bamberg's historic old town became a special film set. Film tricks, scene knowledge, and local history combine to create a cultural enrichment off the beaten path.
Start at the Old Court
The meeting point is at the Old Court on the Cathedral Square. From there, the tour begins through the historical surroundings of the Bamberg Cathedral Hill.
