A Discovery Experience of Stone and Symbolism

The Bamberg Rider is among the most famous sculptures of the Middle Ages. Its presence, its mystery, and its art-historical significance make it one of the most impressive motifs of the cathedral hill. Right next to it, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider unfolds its silent power: It tells a story of dominion, piety, and human connection in five scenes.
