In the Footsteps of the Sams: Film Culture, Fantasy, and Bamberg to Touch

This city tour takes families, film fans, and Bamberg explorers right into the world of the Sams. On July 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM, a discovery experience starts at the Old Courtyard to visit the original filming locations of the first Sams film in Bamberg.

Film History at Real Locations

The tour focuses on the first Sams film The Sams and combines local history with child-friendly storytelling. Along the way, background information on the filming locations and film tricks is explained. This creates a lively city tour that sharpens the view of Bamberg while making the fantasy world of Paul Maar's cult figure tangible.

A Walk off the Beaten Path

Especially appealing is the mixture of World Heritage atmosphere and cinematic lightness. The tour takes place exclusively outdoors and is aimed at both adults and children. Those who want to recognize the filming locations will benefit from knowing the film beforehand. This way, the tour unfolds as a cultural enrichment with many moments of recognition.

Important Information for Families and Groups

The event takes place outdoors, so weather-appropriate clothing is recommended. There is no toilet on the route; the Old Courtyard is available beforehand. Group bookings are possible year-round, making the tour interesting for school classes, family celebrations, or small travel groups. Participation is at one's own risk; parents and guardians are responsible for children.

Bamberg as a Stage of Fantasy

The meeting point at the Old Courtyard opens the view to one of the most impressive places in the city. The historic complex, which once served as the residence of the bishops, is one of the most prominent landmarks in Bamberg and provides an atmospheric start to this film and city exploration. Here, cultural heritage, architecture, and popular film history merge into a special experience.
