Stone Icons in the World Heritage
The Bamberg Rider is considered one of the most famous equestrian statues of the Middle Ages and has fascinated with its mysterious aura for centuries. Right next to it, the Imperial Tomb created by Tilman Riemenschneider tells of power, faith, and the unique history of the canonized imperial couple Henry II and Cunigunde in fine stone. The cathedral itself dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries, was consecrated in 1237, and counts among the most magnificent cathedral buildings in Germany.
